Does anyone know on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc, how you deny an autocorrect with a keyboard? I hate when I press space, it corrects me, and then I have to go back and retype my word. And yes, I know, I could turn it off, but I do kind of like having it.

Cigarette smoking in the United States is at an 80-year low
When Gallup first asked about cigarette smoking in 1944, 41% of U.S. adults said they smoked.
