I've not had major issues with auto-correct except when I type japanese words in romaji occasionally.
Interesting.
At least in the Mail application, I don't see any learning curve.
Just out of curiosity did a simple experiment.
Wrote a word. iPad did make the correct suggestion. I've manually overruled that suggestion. Next time, it did make the very same suggestion as for the first time (in this case I'm glad, else I'd have a wrong entry in the user dictionary, which I can't correct).
