It is? I've only recently started using a mobile device, but with android's drag-to-form-words mechanism, I can you type "guardian" faster than "gu". I don't know about iOS, though.

I tap faster than I swipe, although I use SwiftKey, so it makes tapping much much easier.

I do swipe on occasion, though. Depends if I am using two or one thumb.
