A couple of things... WP8 does not like to correct grammar / capitals in autocorrect - e.g. if you just type "i" (and put a space after it) it leaves a lower case "i" - whereas this is something which iOS always corrected. Anyway to get WP8 to adopt this same behaviour, as it is far more likely I want to type "I" than "i"!!

Also, how can I add words to the dictionary?

You can add words to the dictionary by clicking on the word after you've typed it. The word will appear in the suggestion bar with a '+' symbol next to it. Press on the '+' to add the word to your dictionary.

That's wierd because it works for me on my 822. If I type i, and space, it corrects it to I. Go to Settings, Keyboard, and Advanced and reset the suggestions.

I have done the reset. When starting a sentence, it auto caps anyway - so that's OK... but in the middle of a sentence, it still goes with the lowercase "i". :(

It learns as you use the phone. Mine now offers the capital "I" in the suggestions when I have a small "i" written. It will probably be added as a proper correction at some point I'd imagine.
