Can you type a swear word using swipe typing? On my iPhone, it keeps autocorrecting everything — in every language. For example, in English, instead of “fuck,” it always writes “duck.” And it won’t let me type any word like that at all… Swear words have their place, and this Orwellian bending of reality drives me crazy — it just makes me need to use those words even more. 🤬

"Fuck you asshole!" this was written using swipe on the Microsoft SwiftKey for Android. I never use swipe typing so this is probably the default behavior. I'm glad that my keyboard allows me to type whatever I want.

Play fucking iPhone games win iPhone fucking prices. I tried with frest Gboard. First try corrected to "ducking", but after spelling it out it learned. Second try fucking swipe wrote the swear word.

All github or gitlab apps with no google services, its preeeeetty nice. And if you don't self host already you could go down that rabbit hole as well. New random mac identifier on each restart, tor or vpn of choice with all data packets routed through it instead of iphone which lets some through unencrypted. I could go on an on. But the main thing is. You can just do whatever you want. Not a lot of limits.
No way that someone who tasted Graphene gives up their freedom again.
Haha the key is to train it. "Ass to Dicktionary" every time for the word "fuck" instead and it will remember. But it also depends on the Universal Keyboard rules, it seems. So some words will be perpetually declined to autocorrect depending on the autocorrect dictionary they are configured for.

It sounds like a joke, but I really don’t like how it narrows my vocabulary…
