So. Let me get this straight.

Google can design a mass surveillance system to give me ad suggestions based on sentences I whisper to someone across the room..

But they can't build a fucking keyboard that can spell the word "licenses"?

    @lkjhgf253 I typed it wrong and it's supposed to suggest the right one. Which part of that was difficult to understand?

    Why would I need suggestions if I were currently typing it right. You're trying too hard.

    @hashedram the suggestions are not only for correction but to speed things up and its a combination of what you have used before and what others have used when it has to little input from you to go by.

    @shoop Don't know, it would be kinda crazy to give everything you type on your phone to a mass surveillance company, right?

    It should be licences anyway.

    @shoop Alright, so if I make a keyboard app which sends all keystrokes to one of my own servers, you'd install it?

    And Google officially doesn't steal the data since you agreed to their ToS...
