Google and sex?

I can add all the cusswords I want to my own dictionary. They will appear as choices. I don't use autocomplete.

Hmm interesting. But that article is kind of ridiculous. Perhaps it is done to keep the damn you autocorrect moments exclusive to iOS only? I'm kind of glad that Google is preventing my numismatic grandfather from inviting me to a coitus convention!

I'm really starting to hate Google, but does anybody really use the stock keyboard anyway?

Seems "Chromebook" is a cussword as well.

Paragraph 8 of the cited article suggests

It is probably better to go into the app's settings menu and disable the word-blocking filter.

which suggests that it's an optional setting, no?

Sorry but I joined the conversation late but it sounds like you really shouldn't worry if you're undecided yourself

I like Touchpal X, when I type a word all I have to do is tap it and it auto adds it to the dictionary. My dictionary is full of curse words now lol. With the Google keyboard I had to add every one I could think of manually!
