When I swipe “don’t” in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean “didn’t”. I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I’d understand if the strokes were very similar, but “didn’t” has a whole extra stroke in it compared to “don’t”. WTF, Google?

Hell I’m still trying to figure out why the spell checker changes “i’ll” to “i’LLC” every time I type it. Auto-correct on phones is just worthless and I spend far more time correcting it than I do trying to correct actual mistakes.

Maybe deleting it would work.

(You have to hold the word and start dragging it)

the most annoying shit is when I type three letters that are almost a word (thw for example) and it decides “ah yes, let me correct this to THW”

or maybe correct it to an actual word?

thank god i can delete stuff from the autocorrect dictionary

Is there a way to do that??? I can’t find anything other than adding new words to a personal dictionary, but I do have an older version of android.
