@yurnidiot These days I find that two-thumb tapping is usually faster and more accurate for me than swiping. And of course it works better for less common words (though auto-correct is still....not always right). When I first got a touch screen phone back in the early bronze ages, swiping was a lot faster.

I'm not sure if I've just gotten used to it, or if the screen keyboards are really that much better than they used to be.
