Lol sometimes it definitely can. Isn't there a website dedicated to auto correct and how funny they turn out?
Pretty much this. Even if there's a mistake, I just let it slide. 1 word isn't going to change the overall message of my texts.
Doesn't iSwipe require to Jailbreak? What if the OP isn't comfortable?
Unfortunately, majority of the contenders for his 4S are touchscreen phones, and I hate to say it, but after using my iPhone and the GS3, i think the iPhone is the easier to text with. Just my personal opinion, but a friend who went from an iPhone 3 --> GS3 agrees.

What keyboards did you use on the S3? I am not the biggest fan of the stock keyboard but Swype and swiftkey are downright incredible.
I think it really comes down to a person by person basis. My wife has a GS3, I have a 4S. I find the GS3 infinitly easier to text on, to the point where if my phone was lost or broken I would be hard pressed to replace it with another Apple phone. I prefer iOS over Android for most things but the texting almost ruins the phone for me.
Try SwiftKey. I can type a few letters at the beginning of a message and it will correctly suggest every word in the sentence without having to key in any more letters.I don't think the autocorrect feature of Android is as good as iOS. Seems like the iOS knows what I'm typing far more than Android.
I feel the exact opposite. Android was downright frustrating trying to type. Now there are other alternatives and I haven't researched into them so far, but the stock keyboard on a gtab is not fun to work with.
On the iPhone I can text with one hand while not looking on the screen and it usually gets it about 80 - 90% right. That is impossible on any of the big screen android variants, no matter what keyboard you attempt to use.
I should have noted that I wasn't comparing stock to stock. IMO both stock keyboards suck. With Android you at least have the option to use something better which is perhaps why the stock keyboard isn't so great ... let third party developers fix the problem. I am hoping that Apple at some point gets rid of this ridiculous restriction and allows third party alternatives for those that wish to use them.
I find the one handed argument silly and refuse to get into that aspect of it.
Yes, google released a shoddy version of the keyboard so you have to find a 3rd party alternative. I don't get what kind of reasoning that is. The fact that you have to waste your free time just so you can find an acceptable alternative isn't a feature to me. It just goes to show how lacking android is right out of the box.
Why is the one handed argument silly? It is an absolute fact and a feature that no android phone can match. They are simply too big to be able to do this.

iOS keyboard works well enough as far as auto-correcting as you go, but the need to toggle to the alternate character set to type a comma or numeral really blows. Every other physical or software keyboard has a long-press option for that, if not dedicated keys.
Android definitely gives you more options. (I prefer Swype myself.)
Here's a trick for you. Hold the 123 button (which opens up the alt keyboard), drag your finger to the comma, let go. It'll type in the comma and toggle automatically back to the normal one. That's the fastest way to do single alternate keys.

Spent the last few days with wp7, and the touch keyboard blows. It reminds me of every single touch keyboard I've ever used.Pretty much this. Even if there's a mistake, I just let it slide. 1 word isn't going to change the overall message of my texts.
It corrects almost everything, I just mash the screen so that my finger gets close enough to the word I am trying to type and it fixes it.
I don't think I would go back to a hardware keyboard as in my previous phones.
