In case you didn’t read, this is for swiping. If you type the example listed “United Ireland” that is okay. Try swiping that same thing and you are autocorrected to United Iceland.

I don’t know anyone that swipes.

I swipe. Everyone I know swipes. When I used an iPhone, swipe was the sole reason I installed Gboard. I think you might have to be of a very specific age to be able to tap-type as fast as you can swipe.

But also, I injure my thumb (dry skin, it cracks) often enough that I can't use that for my primary input method. Not being ancient yet, I can't imagine tap-typing with just my forefinger.

Of all the headlines they could have picked...

Sounds like BS. 100,000 words and phrases? Looks like more commonly written phrases always win over similar, less common ones. You can probably find millions of such less common phrases. It doesn't mean they are actually listed somewhere in the system.

Disgusting. I always turn it off when I can find the setting, it should not be the default.

So many instances of "showvanist."
