I have the same frustrations. It used to work great but lately it randomly capitalizes words and fails miserably at recognizing what I’m swyping.
Also, it has something against the word “Tuesday” “today” (see it did it again) and always defaults to “Tuesday.”
I love your attitude and the connections you make. I have a tendency to be chatty with strangers too, but I get paranoid about safety. Like if I were with my husband making our way through a train and some random guy started chatting us up, we both would wonder if it’s a lead-up to a scam.
