Anyone else doesn't use autocorrect??

First thing to turn off on the keyboards. That and the swipe bullshit.

Does anyone actually swipe on their phone keyboards? How the hell does it even work?

I swipe about 90% of the time, but it's so frustrating sometimes. It'll occasionally give me the wrong word. I'll delete the word and slow down my strokes, ensuring I stop at each specific letter, and it'll give me the same wrong word every time that doesn't even make sense in the sentence context. When it works, it's great though.

That is the worst fucking part. I try to swipe "for" and get "got" and then I very deliberately swipe "for" and get "got" again. 🤬

It's like, you just typed "got" so now it's high in the "words you type" list or something.

It's just BSD at short words. Yes, BSD. I definitely didn't try to swipe bad.

I think the QWERTY keyboard is not ideal for swiping. One of the worst things when swiping is having I and O so close together.
