Finally, someone will actually mean to type "ducking," and it won't just be autocorrect.

I envy anybody whose autocorrect suggests swearing.

For me it’s a constant battle of teaching and reteaching it the different manners of expressing passion and frustration. That’s the one thing I liked about Google’s keyboard on Android: that you could enable “sailor-mouth mode”. They called it something boring though like “Suggest profane words”.

On less used languages their filtering doesn't work. I tried writing "she was rubbing her eyes" and the only suggestion I got after typing "she was rubbing" was clit, even after writing the sentence multiple time, clit was the only suggestion.

I never wrote she was rubbing her clit on my phone. I swear.
