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).
