    Well there’s you’re answer. Swiping is imprecise, andriod/iOS use predictive models to guess which word you’re trying to type… and it’s usually (but not always,) awful at it.

    Especially with words that have duplicate letters like hello and lemmy.

      I always wondered how it handled duplicate letters. If you stay hovering over one key it doesn’t work as well. Thanks for answer (TFA)

        Try making a little circle or wiggle over the double letters instead of just hovering.

      I thought maybe there was a way to make it stop diverting and learn what I want it to do. I don’t think it even knows Lemmy is a word.
