So if I text someone "Hey what are ya doin" It says "Hey what are yahoo doin" Major PITA!!!!!!!!!!!
It you wanna stick it out with the Samsung keyboard then change the predictive words settings so they aren't intrusive.
First, pull down the notification bar and select the keyboard icon. Hit the settings icon for the Samsung keyboard. On the predictive words, just turn it off. As a matter of fact, the only thing I have turned on is spell correction.
That should help dramatically. It helped me. Plus, the more you use the Samsung keyboard the better it gets. So far so good.

Switch to Swype Beta, add "ya" to your dictionary.
autocorrect = major annoyance + embarrassing mistakes
