Does anyone have any recommendations for alternate keyboard apps on iOS that don’t censor my less-than-polite speech? Having to type certain words out letter by letter is annoying enough since swipe texting won’t spell them out. And lately it seems like even after I type that stuff out, autocorrect will still go back and change those words. Tired of my phone trying to play Puritan Nanny.
Tried just googling the question, but the only results I get are how to add curse words to the text replacement list, and I’d rather not have to go program in every individual curse word.
Do you mean, people using keyboards do harm a keyboard vendor’s reputation?
Can I ask you a math question?
What is hypocrisy to the power of hypocrisy?
Both.
There are absolutely a meaningful number of people who are strongly opposed to profanity, and are not OK with their phone correcting to it, a much larger number of people who only wish to use profanity in certain contexts, and specific profanities (slurs) that absolutely can do real damage with a single use.
They don’t correct away from profanity, but they don’t correct to it either. That’s a reasonable stance. The reason it doesn’t work well with the swipe keyboards is because they’re using the “correct” feature every time without biasing to the manual input, because that’s the only to get decent results out of a bad input method like swipe.
