Better way to disable autocorrection

I found it very inefficient to mod your local keyboard files in order to disable auto-correction, because you lose the ability to enable auto-correction quickly. A better way is to mod a language file which you'll never use, like Swedish, which doesn't even have a dictionary. I've modded the Swedish plist file, to match the English strings. How to use it:
  1. Copy this plist file to /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework
  2. Remove the Swedish dictionary (TextInput_sv.bundle) in /System/Library/Textinput
  3. Enable the Swedish keyboard in Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards
  4. Enable the keyboard for example in a text message, click on the globe icon on the left side untill you see 'None', which actually stands for: No Dictionary
  5. Done! Enjoy faster text input, without losing your local keyboard dictionary.
