Man, it's so fast compared to normal typing on a phone but the short words always come out wrong.

Try different keyboards. The HTC one seems the best if you can install it. Google's is OK. Lineage is my least favorite.

Mine does dvd for and a lot.

I go back and read my posts and usually have one error from swype. I just like that I can type without looking at the screen with it.

I found you have to use Charmin toilet paper in order to get the best results

I can type almost 55wpm on my phone with Google Swype. There's rediculous to think about typing that many words with a single thumb

Accuracy is not the best but after Google learns which word I'm trying to type when it gets it wrong a few times, it seems to get it from that point on

If you don't proofread, you're going to look like a dumbass. And don't drunk text with it. I've had girlfriend's call, thinking I had alcohol poisoning.

As someone else mentioned, get Swiftkey. It's the best keyboard out there, period, for standard or "swype" typing.

Swiftkey was just as bad in my experience. Swype learns what I want to type even when I may miss a letter or two.
