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?

    Gboard swiping is okay, but I agree, there are still some annoyances. Random mid-sentence capitalization is a big one for me.

    And no matter how hard I try, no matter what the settings are, no matter how slowly and deliberately I motion, it will absolutely never output the word “fuck” when swiping. It will say “fucking”, it will even say “fuckin”, but it will never say “fuck”.

    Gucci. Duck. Tick. Duck. Rick. Dick. Gigi. FICO. Guck.

    This was barely funny back in 2009, now it’s just embarrassing. WTF even is “guck”.

      Settings > Text Correction, uncheck third option down “Block Offensive Words”

      I got it to type fuck just now when I started swiping from g instead of f, so it wouldn’t put a d. if yours is typing guck though, that probably won’t work
