A:
The iPhone SDK does not provide programmatic access to any spelling dictionaries.

A:
If you have a UITextField or UITextView that the user is typing into, you can enable "correction" which will auto suggest/correct any spelling mistakes the user types. Just like when typing an email or sending an sms. This behaviour is inherent in all text entry classes in UIKit.

A:
The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use
The average length of English words is 4.5 letters
In bytes that would be 4.5 per word
Therefore 171,476 x 4.5 = 771,642 bytes to store all the words
In MB that would be 0.735895157
So what I'm trying to say is, you have enough storage to have your own dictionary :)

Just google it - there are loads of dictionary files available. If you have a linux box then go to /usr/share/dict/words
