unpopular autocorrect problems

[cimorene]

I use Swiftkey on my phone because it's the only keyboard that lets you enable three different languages' spelling/prediction dictionaries simultaneously (and I definitely need the ability to use Swedish, Finnish, and English daily). I would have avoided adding Welsh since I know so little of it that the predictions will just confuse the issue, but I couldn't figure out how to add the ŵ and ŷ options to the keyboard without adding Welsh to the program - the Swedish keyboard I use only includes circumflexes over aeiou in Swiftkey. So.

Swiftkey, unlike the common autocorrect complaint, has definitely learned the swearwords that I use, and now that I'm learning Welsh farm animals, every time I need to translate 'duck' it offers 'fuck' instead.

In all fairness, I've heard that while geese and swans may still hold their reigns of terror over domestic and wild waterfowl respectively, some hwyaid can still be real fucks.

(Is that the correct form? Looking it up linked me to the fascinating concept of the "singulative" -- what larks!)

I have not started learning different kinds of plurals yet - I just know there are multiple ones. I love the names of different types of grammar stuff like that.
