  You probably should elaborate more about that talking keyboard of yours …

  First off, disable autocorrect. Second, disable swipe motion typing. Third, disable suggested words. Alternatively, download a replacement keyboard that doesn’t have them, like Galaxy theme.

  While I’m here, is it okay to eat food that you just coughed on?

    You won’t die from it.

  I'm struggling to understand what you are asking.

  Can you expand/clarify?

    When I swipe on my keyboard to say hello, it says help. When I’m not trying to say “help”. It’s confusing to the person receiving my text

      Stop on the L and wiggle around a little before moving to the O.

  Also why does Lemur delete posts?

    Corrected Lemmy to Lemur. Leaving it because it’s relevant to the post. I use the keyboard swiping/path-drawing function on Samsung keyboard

      So I assume the issue here is that your keyboard is suggesting weird junk.

      I’m not familiar with Samsung Keyboard, but I googled your problem, and it looks like a lot of people complain about bad autocorrect suggestions. As a quick fix, could you try installing an alternative keyboard like Swiftkey or Google’s GBoard from the Playstore?

      If you want to fix it in Samsung you might need to play with the settings. Or when you are typing a word and it suggests “help”, tap and hold the word to see if you can delete it

      Well there’s you’re answer. Swiping is imprecise, andriod/iOS use predictive models to guess which word you’re trying to type… and it’s usually (but not always,) awful at it.

      Especially with worlds that have duplicate letters like hello and lemmy.
