      I did, but I just turned it off two seconds ago. I had been fed up for a while with all the "ducking" and other stupid autocorrects that I did not intend. I can type well enough and if not, that's on me. But autocorrect makes worse errors than I do. I usually proof read my texts anyways, so that should catch 99% of all preventable errors.

        I turned everything off about 2 years ago after getting annoyed by autocorrect making more mistakes than me. I like that the keyboard takes up less space and my typing has improved dramatically since then. I can type whole paragraphs now without making a single typo.
        I regret nothing.

          I do, but boy am I looking for a better keyboard, gboard has really gone downhill, I mean it was never great but it's just straight up putting completely wrong totally unrelated words in place of REAL FUCKING WORDS. I miss pre-microsoft swiftkey, they had the best text prediction I've ever used. I remember in college my friend and I had a convo about how it was so good that he would have a full text to his dad perfectly predicted and he felt bad because he basically let a robot do the thinking for him lol. Now it's been gutted by microsoft, and the text correction is just as janky as gboard.

            Swype & Dragon was the predecessor of Swiftkey, and even though it was deprecated 7 years ago, it still works great if you get hold of an old apk.

            I've heard that Android versions greater than 12 refuse to install it due to some outdated software api check, but there's a friendly guy on the xda-dev forum who released a patched version.

                I use it on my phone for text messages, but I've realized that over the years, I'm starting to forget how to spell some words. I should probably stop using it to reprogram my brain.

                    Yes. Autocorrect has gotten better and better with my typing as it learns the words I type. It takes into account where on the wrong letters that I’m typing to figure out the actual word. I’m pretty fast at typing on my phone.

                      Add those words to your dictionary to stop them from autocorrecting. You can also add them as a contact and it will autocorrect towards that word, so I can get my phone to want to correct to “fucking”.

                        I've been doing that for half a year or so. It's still shit, so I'm giving up on autocorrect.

                          Autocorrect on the phone, suggestions on computer. Grammar check is junk, though, as 95% of the world isn't - checks notes - American, and don't follow the prophet Webster.

                            No, my keyboard doesn't support it, and I don't much like it, anyways. It forces me to slow down slightly and re-read what I wrote.

                              I'm rooted as well, but holding on to android 12 for dear life. So far the future releases bring a lot of unnecessary garbage and restrictions, and no real improvements.

                                I guess it's worth the effort for me then I've let FUTO keyboard do corrections for me but since I switch between languages all the time the autocorrect messing up every single word.

                                  No, because it fucks up everything and annoys me. It also tries to censor me. The bastard.
