I want to turn it off entirely, but the “smart” hitboxes for the digital keyboard are also so imprecise that I rely on autocorrect to accommodate my fat fingers.

    Gboard is especially bad at this. If a word could in any conceivable way be capitalized, it will capitalize it.

      Mine constantly pulls the bait and switch when I try to type “definitely”. On the third letter, it will momentarily recommend “definitely”, but after an instant, say, long enough to decide to tap the suggestion, it switches it to “Def”, and because I tapped the suggestion, I have to go back and delete the whole word and start over

        How do they decide Which of the words to Capitalize? Are there words that are the same words with different capitalization and they’re different words?

          Generally if you can put an article in front of it you capitalise it

      AnySoftKeyboard (which I prefer over Gboard because privacy and Free Software) is even worse at aggressively capitalizing.

      Soon the globalists will lay claim to every word and we’ll communicate with sentences composed 100% of proper noun brand-names owned by multinational corporations.
