Ask HN: Do you still miss your RIM BlackBerry?

I have GBoard in three languages, it guesses the language from the first few words and then 'sticks' to it for the rest of the message.

Occasionally it guesses the wrong language if the first word or two are ambiguous, but by manually typing out a word in the right language it quickly adjusts itself.

Or if some languages are only used occasionally, you can just put them on a dedicated keyboard and switch with a long press of the spacebar.

The greatest flaw of GBoard is that it doesn't treat space as just another character that could be mistyped, but as a delimiter that's always assumed to be in the right place. This makes the error rate ridiculous.

I always swipe with very few exceptions, so spaces aren't an issue.
