I gave up using swipe typing after the Nth time it changed a word 10 words back just as I pressed send. Maybe this is why in a few of those cases but not generally. Having to proofread messages after sending didn't seem efficient. But thank you for doing this... a little light shone on something goes a long way.
Depending on your socioeconomic status, the $12/year for a .com is either cheap or expensive, and while I hesitate to claim I'm disgusting wealthy (because I'm not) I, (I'm not the OP) at least rich enough to spend $12/year amongst other life's expenses. Having a custom domain name for a thing is a way of driving people to the domain, instead of focusing on yourself. It feels less self-aggrandizing to point at a project on its own domain name, rather than say hey, look at my blog which is branded with my name. What's important is the project, not me.
This isn’t limited to swipe, they don’t auto-suggest either. Some of the phrases in the full world list are really innocent too:
- are some important
- fish finger(s)
- he’s hot
- is the worst
- sneak peak
- thank god
- you suck
Probably best that it doesn't do sneak peak since it's sneak peek.

WTF, it changes words after you already typed it and moved on?
That's worse than the HN title of merely just not suggesting the phrase, that is some 1984 going on.

Same energy as turning the gun emoji to a water gun. You don't help anything by getting in the way of what people are trying to communicate.
Why did someone buy a full domain for this.
