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.
