I decide where my fucks belong, not my app. We can talk about implicit bias here because I just don’t trust giant corporations anymore, but the app telling me I didn’t mean what I did, whether we want to assert innocence and good will on behalf of the designer, is still censorious. That’s my point.
the whole point of having autocorrect is for it to correct your mistakes. but definition you’re delegating decision making to your app. with that delegation the app maker would rather not get in trouble for not correcting someone’s intended duck and leaving it as a swearword. if you don’t want your app to decide where your fucks belong, turn off autocorrect.
or use something other than iOS. if anything my keyboard guesses I’m trying to swear too frequently now.
It’s supposed to learn on how you adopt spellings you type. On iOS, it’s seemingly impossible to “teach” the OS you actually want to use profanity instead of birds.
really? on Android i almost have the opposite problem. because my keyboard does learn from me, I have come close to using profanity (and straight up vulgarity) in very inappropriate situations.
i don’t think it’s censorship so much as it is erring on the side of not inserting a fuck where it doesn’t belong.

Some time ago I created an autocorrect to change (the d word) into “fuck” which is very problematic when the subject of our fowl friends comes up.
so they became your foul friends
