    I’m convinced Gboard does this, it’ll always suggest grammatically incorrect words, or the wrong tense, or a word that just doesn’t make sense there in the sentence. My favorite part is when I type 75% of a word, see the CORRECT completion as the center suggestion, then tap it and it’s picked some random variation of that word (made plural, made past tense, etc.)

    And it ALMOST ALWAYS autocorrects “live” to “love”, and “in” to “on”

    I couldn’t type on a smartphone without autocorrect though, so it’s a lose lose situation getting rid of it or keeping it!

      My favorite is when I’m 2-3 letters into a word and see the word as I’m going to hit the next letter, then immediately disappears as I enter the correct next letter. Sometimes it even comes back after I delete the correct next letter…

        I will see the correct word as I m typing the next letter and the word changes to an incorrect word as my other thumb taps on it—drives me nuts

      Ive tried various keyboards, I swear they have gotten worse over the years.
      FOSS exist, but aren’t mature enough yet IMO, at least for multilingual and non-standard screens.
      I might just start carrying a physical* keyboard in my pocket.
