Gracias = Garcia

My Blackberry is set to auto-check, because I’m infamously known for misspelling words.
Quite a few times, when tapping out an email I’ve noticed that spell check wants to change ‘gracias’ to Garcia. I find it hilarious. Yes, I can just ‘add’ it to the dictionary but what I’m really curious if 1) the word is ever going to be added to the dictionary, or 2) the software will ever be made ‘smart’ enough to see that I use that term constantly and auto-add itself.
A fellow Twittero has experienced the same:
I’m curious if anyone else out there has any stories to share?
