Technology

I turned it off a long time ago when it started replacing entire sentences. So annoying!!

I still have the suggestions on but I might turn that off too because it keeps suggesting words in other languages even though I'm on the English keyboard and don't know much in any other language (and the only other keyboard I have is the Spanish one).

Also the dictionary doesn't have a shit ton of common words in it for some reason, so if I can't think of the proper spelling I have to look it up anyway. Which is also annoying because search engines suck and I never have a hard copy handy.

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.

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.

Iirc FlexT9 was ducking (nope, not fixing it this time, rofl) great for the... Galaxy S2?, but then Swype bought em out and it's been downhill ever since.

So... it's not that the tech is bad, it's that it's being hamstrung somewhere.

Complete garbage. It has to have gotten worse. Like it’s training ai instead of trying to help us. I’m convinced

Join the revolution. Reject predictive text.

Thumb-Key

If it has the word auto in it i tend to disable, remove or uninstall it. I get frustrated by every half baked implemenation to predict, correct or actson my behalf.

The only thing i mostly tolerate is auto suggest in programming IDEs. But that is on thin ice. The second it hijacks the input system its done.

That's my biggest pet peeve, when it auto suggests words that don't exist.
