Help What happened to spell correction?

I just purchased a S3 a few days ago. All my previous smart phones have been HTC and was ready to try something new. I first purchased the LG Optimus G and returned it after 1 day of use and got the S3. Too many bugs wit the LG. Anyways, I'll get to my issue. After abwhat'sn hour of playing with the S3 I updated it to Jelly Bean. I then noticed that there is no spell correction or auto punctuation. For example I was typing a text and spelled "tonight" - "ronight" and it didn't fix it. I did notice it gives me the choice of the correct spelling but doesn't actually make the correction. I went through all the different menus, called Sprint, and even went to a Sprint store only to find out they were unaware of this and didn't know a fIx.
Other issue is punctuation. In the settings there is a selection for auto punctuation but it seems all that does is put a period at the end of a sentence. Tried spelling couldn't and it won't put in the apostrophe. And thit's just an example. Can anyone fill me in on whats going on?
 
Thanks so much. SwiftKey and you sir have saved the day and made me like this phone so much more. I especially like the bigger keys along with the auto correct of course.
 
You can also install the stock 4.2 keyboard which I find works very well and doesn't look too out of place. I had the same issue with the stock keyboard as you.

I already downloaded swiftkey but wouldn't mind having the 4.2 keyboard. But how do I get it?
