I want to turn it off entirely, but the “smart” hitboxes for the digital keyboard are also so imprecise that I rely on autocorrect to accommodate my fat fingers.

      My keyboard (Swiftkey) gets very excited about the possibilities when I start to hyphenate words to create compounds. It accepts that they exist, but it starts trying to throw all sorts of random suggestions in for what the second word could be (and it rarely gets the right word).

        When you put it like that, it sounds very endearing 😄

        How are you liking it otherwise? I’m looking for something that’s neither Gboard nor the Samsung one…

      When is it correct to use compound words in english? In Swedish you can do compound words for anything at will. In English “flagpole” is its own word but “dirt farmer” isn’t.

          True there is no consistent rule, but generally the more a phrase is used, the more often it becomes a compound word

            Welp! Better go convince some more people to become destitute agricultural workers so that the dictionary is less confusing to us Scandinavians!
