Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?
You're viewing a single thread.
Gboard swiping is okay, but I agree, there are still some annoyances. Random mid-sentence capitalization is a big one for me.
And no matter how hard I try, no matter what the settings are, no matter how slowly and deliberately I motion, it will absolutely never output the word "fuck" when swiping. It will say "fucking", it will even say "fuckin", but it will never say "fuck".
Gucci. Duck. Tick. Duck. Rick. Dick. Gigi. FICO. Guck.
This was barely funny back in 2009, now it's just embarrassing. WTF even is "guck".
Settings > Text Correction, uncheck third option down "Block Offensive Words"
Fuck fuck fuck cunt bitch asshole (all swipe texted, only the first "fuck" became "duck")
You'd think that would've filtered the "fucking" and "fuckin", though.
You have forever changed the way I communicate from this day on.
It's never let me down
It's the first thing I do when I'm breaking in a new android device: aggressively force-training it to accept all my usual expletives.
I got it to type fuck just now when I started swiping from g instead of f, so it wouldn't put a d. if yours is typing guck though, that probably won't work
