To the left of the touch keyboard there is essentially a small toggle that goes from XT9 to ABC. The XT9 is what gives you your predictive text entry based on what you're typing and also allows you to add words to the built in dictionary. Sliding it to ABC turns all that off and just treats it like a normal keyboard. I also found typing in ABC mode much smoother since it's not trying to figure out what you're typing and adding suggestions for words above the keyboard.
