Yeah, that one.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who here uses Android but not Swype? What do you use instead? Have you tried Swype? Why didn't you like it?
I use Swype with Android but half the time it gets my words completely wrong. I've been using it for nearly two years and doesn't seem to be learning much at all. Very annoying.
Yesterday, for instance, I could NOT get it to understand "There's". Could not do it atall.
In other news, we ran 4.5 miles this morning, because we decided to change up our routine and went to a new park. It was awesome: almost empty, beautiful scenery, lovely hills, and the echoing sound of people shooting at the firing range down the valley. The plan is to keep trying new parks every weekend, because we've really gotten into a rut.

Hee, I was just wondering if you were getting the game, Dana.

I am, um, "getting" the game. As insane as it is.

Son of a bitch! Maybe I need to stop talking about this game. They were doing fine until I posted.

4th q will fix everything.

Consuela, on my Android Swype, it lets me easily and quickly add words to the dictionary. Like "cocksucker" and "BWAH" And then when you start Swyping, you get a little bar with suggestions and just press your correct word and bob's yu=our uncle.
I ADORE Swype.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been using it for nearly two years and doesn't seem to be learning much at all. Very annoying.
I don't think it learns either, which would be the greatest leap ahead for it, IMO. However, it works really well for my input style, so it's not a big handicap for me, but rather an occasional irritation that it doesn't know *that* yet, whatever this week's *that* is. During the time when I couldn't get Swype on my phone I used...SwiftKey which relies heavily on learning and predictive text, and that also worked pretty well for me... if it could have babies with Swype, I might throw my keyboards away. And, apparently, if it reads your FB and Gmail, it gets even better...so not the best partner for me, but even without that, interestingly fast.
Someone in Tech tried it and didn't like it--I remembered the alternative word suggestion functionality being criticised, for one. But I only used it a week.
My sister tossed Swype ASAP. She said it made her want to stab things. Tapping a touchscreen does that to me.

But that doesn't cover picking between two valid words. It doesn't seem to work out that *this* is how you enter "they're" and this is what swyping "there" looks like. For you.
