I use the word "fuck" a lot. I have added it many times yet it insists on babying me and trying to protect my fucking feelings by not suggesting it. Infuriating.
i have a flip phone. i don't use sms, but occasionally i make a quick note in the little 'notepad'. the good ol' tap-tap-tap is more efficient than its horrible predictive text.
HTC had one of the best keyboards. Each key had 2 letters on each key (except 1 or 2 that had 3) and it never failed to guess what word I wanted. Stopped working with android 4 IIRC.
Found it on a XDA thread from 2010
Sadly still doesn't work
I keep hoping that its crapness will at least teach me to proofread before I hit the Post button. It hasn't... but I can hope.
Complete garbage. It has to have gotten worse. Like it’s training ai instead of trying to help us. I’m convinced
I dont like autocorrect both for privacy reasons (though there might be open source ones) and for accuracy reasons. I dont want something else to write for me what it thinks I want to say. (Hence I'm using a customized keyboard in florisboard beta which looks almost the same as gboard.😌)
I think the major problem is that culture is evolving so rapidly that keyboard dictionaries can't keep up with new words.
