Auto Correct OFF but Possible Words Choice ON?

[TripleB67]

Is it possible on the S5 to turn off the auto correct (where you type in something correctly, although maybe not be a real word, but it changes it to something you don't want) but leave on the word suggestion pop ups (ie: I type in pre and it gives me several words I may be getting ready to type)?

Thanks.

I have not bothered to look.


What I do is touch the Check Mark....
That forces it to leave your text exactly like you typed it.

I just tap the check mark on the left in the line with the word predictions, the word is then added to my user dictionary and is recognized from that point forward. In case I choose to remove the word from my dictionary later, I just press and hold on it in the predictive text line and an option to remove it from the dictionary pop ups.
