Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? (lemmy.world)

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

I'd never once considered a phone being faster. I always see typing on my phone as a pain, an I'm no great touch typist by an means (around 80wpm).

How fast do you type on a standard keyboard, for comparison? I'm curious if you like the phone better because you're not very fast with a regular keyboard, or if I'm just bad with my phone.
