Well that list is clearly incomplete; "camel toe" is there, but "moose knuckle" is not. Wont somebody think of the children.
Of all the most offensive words and slurs, Apple made sure to also block the phrase "iMessage isn't working"
Corps aren't your friend. Apple is just as shitty as everyone else, they're just better at hiding it.
Yes. Offensive words like corn hole, cop shooting, and accept gays.
Corn hole is offensive to those of us who finally escaped the midwest
I don't understand how "accept gays" even got on that list.
The king they bowed to has a problem with it
what the fuck
I know I'm naive about some things, but this is just.. the fuck. changing the word before the most recently swiped word, because together it forms a blocked phrase? that's just fucked up.
I'm ashamed to say that I truly never thought about the keyboard no longer being safe from interference.
like okay I get that it won't suggest harmful phrases, sure, maybe I can accept that. but to retroactively edit your inputs.. that's just fucked up.
It's consistently done that using names with unusual spellings since nearly day 1 - I fought tooth and nail with autocorrect on my iPhone 3GS and finally turned the damned thing off.
NGL, it slowed me down a whole bunch, but also forced me to take my word game up, which I kinda like, actually.
I've not used auto-correct for years, I feel it's the way to go if one wants to avoid this whole word edit fiasco.
Wow there are a lot of prepositions that one must never come in/on/at/down
