Forgive my kvetching, but it drives me nuts that #AOSP-based #Android OSes always treat hyphenated words as words.

For example, if you type in "apple-cart," you get a red squiggly underline and it tries to recommend replacing it with "apricot" or something. The only way around it is to add every. single. hyphenated. word. you. use. into the dictionary. 😮‍💨

It's been a constant, daily annoyance for the past five and a half years, and the only fix is to install something like GBoard and use its spelling correction engine or whatever you call it, and I'd rather not.

I've experienced it on #CalyxOS and #IodéOS, but I don't recall if #GrapheneOS has the same issue, because I only tried it briefly.

@rl_dane By default my phone uses Gboard.

There is a certain convenience to it but still will underline common words from time to time.

@peteorrall

Gboard definitely has a better spelling correction engine.

But #Heliboard is 99% as good*, and totally #FOSS.

*Especially if you install the proprietary glide typing extension, which of course, they're working on a FOSS replacement of, but it will take a while
