I tried Swype for a while.. and I gave up, even when doing letter by letter it kept changing the word to non nonsensical words (based on the sentence), I switched to Swift key. It's not as fast, but I like the results much better. In Swype, the "auto space, punctuation" has never worked for me. I turn off autocorrect. I rather mispell then get a random word. There is a huge difference between sending a text saying "You shut up" then "You slut up".. this happened.
Same here. I have the potty mouth from hell, but use a much more decorous vocabulary at work. Swiftkey seems to do a much better job of helping me maintain a professional demeanor in my correspondence. Swype was banished after I was replying to a question from one of the women on the team I lead and it decided to change "You can't..." into something much, much uglier. While I appreciate the learning ability displayed by Swype on an intellectual level, I'm not going to sensitivity training over a keyboard.
That said, I do switch to Swype when in an iCrowd. The looks on their faces when they realize what I am doing is priceless.
