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?

Or how about with apple, when it autocorrects a word, and you want to manually click to the middle of the word, or even to the beginning or end, it fuckin highlights the word endlessly. That’s one of the most frustrating for me.

I’ve Al’s it entirely stopped using swype because it’s so dogshit now. I used to love it.

Long press on the spacebar and it turns into a sort of “trackpad” that allows you to place the cursor wherever you want

I know, but that doesn’t come naturally to me. That’s my last resort, I instinctively click/hold where I want the cursor to go. Or click once between the words. But don’t you dare try that near any autocorrected words! Very annoying.
