Swiping

I mean "swiping" as in the method of writing things with your keyboard.

There are some words which it just doesn't like to write.

The actual word SWIPING is one of them.

See also: "difficult" - which my phone thinks should be "Didcot" or "fiduciary".

It also hates "also" and "phone".

Does everyone's phone do this?

I'm still typing like 4433555555666

I'm just trying to think of other words it hates.

Oh yes. Would.
It writes "works" instead of "would".

Or "world".

It's odd when it decides a word like "fiduciary" would be more likely than "difficult" - even if you write about financial stuff regularly, I still reckon you'd use "difficult" more often than a word some people will never use.

My autocorrect seems to believe I'm someone which never swears...

Oh yes, this.

And I never have sex.

If you're on a Samsung, the swiping keyboard has got a lot worse lately. Then again, so has a good deal of Google related stuff. The voice recognition has gone really bad recently.

I suspect they've both changed the engine they used to use and it's gone downhill.
