This can only be done on iOS5. Go to settings>general>keyboard>add shortcut.

Oh ok. And how do I know if I'm using iOS5? I'm really new to my iPhone.

 

[Danicks]

I'm obviously not since I don't have that option. Lol. Thanks anyways.

In that case, you can upgrade to iOS 5 as long as you have a 3GS or iPhone 4. You will probably also have to update to the latest iTunes first.

first go here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install iTunes 10.5.

then plug in your iPhone, click on it in the left column, and click "update" in the summary tab.

or you could just reset the keyboard dictionary by settings > general > reset > reset keyboard dictionary

That just resets the entire dictionary, it doesn't make the changes the OP was asking about.

It will help. If the op has typed te a thousand times the phone has learned and thinks it is a word and the intended word. Resetting the dictionary will start you back at zero and the te will be corrected to the.
