Easy bit wonky swift key is probably the best


Wish I knew what bb 9930 was but I am considering becoming a Luddite



Swipe style keyboard? How does that effect spelling ? So confused - I get how it changes to "predict," anticipate or whatever the AI engineers say but what I don't understand is changing a real word to a non-word. That's not intelligence. That's something else and I don't know what they get from changing word to a misspelled and nonexistent word other than eventually driving the human race insane: I'm going to be a Luddite;


Er, "son" and "soon" are both real dictionary words. Swipe-style keyboards use an internal dictionary to find the most likely match to the swiped pattern, and have methods for adding new words (mine for example automatically adds any tapped-out words after you hit space).


I've definitely noticed that but I'm not sure the reason is so innocent


I concur - and then to run across a google aficionado who alerted us to a policy change where now paying to move up the charts was cutting them out and the paid for results not labeled as ads. The ultimate result of all good things when they get too big? Corporatize? I fear more that the people who should be creating the next google have been numbed and hypnotized into a state of flux, where everything is acceptable.


Prefer Firefox


It's a strange corporate culture thats for sure


Or how did you find the people your product would innately appeal to.


Ggggggggrrrrreeeaaaatttt


I think I understand what you're saying but wanted to express admiration for the opening thesis.
