Tucked inside iOS 5 code, the second easter egg discovered this week lets you enable a hidden autocorrect keyboard (much like the one used in Android).

The new finding is credited to iOS hacker Sonny Dickson. Here's him on Twitter.

The feature suggests words as you type, which makes it easier to write difficult words, or those words that you often misspell. Like “Triceratops”. I use it a lot when I text my paleontology professor.

Kidding, of course. I don't know much about pre-historic life on Earth, though I do find dinosaurs quite intriguing.

Now, if you want to enable this new feature, all you have to do is follow the exact same steps outlined the other day for the Panorama feature. Basically you just have to use a file browsing app on your iPhone and edit a .plist file.
