When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

the most annoying shit is when I type three letters that are almost a word (thw for example) and it decides "ah yes, let me correct this to THW"

or maybe correct it to an actual word?

thank god i can delete stuff from the autocorrect dictionary

Is there a way to do that??? I can't find anything other than adding new words to a personal dictionary, but I do have an older version of android.

For me just long press on the word suggestion and a bin appears in the middle of the screen.

Thanks, I'll try that too. I had another completely off-the-wall one pop up today. Typed the word "good" followed by a period, and when I looked back it had auto-corrected to "Goodwhich" with the capital G. I don't know if that's a name brand somebody is trying to sell me on, or what, but don't change the shit I actually spelled right!
