<p>I keep running across words that are disallowed by autocorrect on Android
|
|
4.2.2 using swiping on Android Keyboard (AOSP). They’re not censored, as
|
|
you can type them by hand, but they will never autocorrect. I’m not really
|
|
sure of the reason, perhaps it has to do with trying to prevent users from
|
|
autocorrecting themselves into trouble? Some of them are pretty out there,
|
|
though, and honestly, there has to be better UX around that (say, having a
|
|
list of words that never autocorrects to that word <em>by default</em>, but is still
|
|
on the list of selectable words).</p>
|
|
<h2 id="curse-words">Curse words</h2>
|
|
<p>Pretty standard list of dirty words (their variants are usually blocked, too).</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>fuck</li>
|
|
<li>shit</li>
|
|
<li>cunt</li>
|
|
<li>ass</li>
|
|
<li>butt</li>
|
|
<li>piss</li>
|
|
<li>cock</li>
|
|
<li>tits</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 id="non-curse-words">Non curse words</h2>
|
|
<p>This is where it gets a little weird. I suppose I can understand not wanting to
|
|
accidentally text ‘penis’ to a family member, but some of these are a
|
|
little…out there.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>suck</li>
|
|
<li>sex</li>
|
|
<li>sexuality</li>
|
|
<li>penis</li>
|
|
<li>vagina</li>
|
|
<li>clitoris</li>
|
|
<li>menstrual</li>
|
|
<li>menstruation</li>
|
|
<li>erection</li>
|
|
<li>semen</li>
|
|
<li>coitus</li>
|
|
<li>anal</li>
|
|
<li>rape (‽)</li>
|
|
<li>orgasm</li>
|
|
<li>circumcised</li>
|
|
<li>nipple</li>
|
|
<li>vibrator</li>
|
|
<li>rectum</li>
|
|
<li>genitalia</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 id="words-android-will-type">Words Android will type</h2>
|
|
<p>These are some words Android will type that are a little weird given the
|
|
above list.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>asexuality</li>
|
|
<li>prepuce</li>
|
|
<li>cervix</li>
|
|
<li>vulva</li>
|
|
<li>foreskin</li>
|
|
<li>womb</li>
|
|
<li>prostate</li>
|
|
<li>oral</li>
|
|
<li>condom</li>
|
|
<li>pussy</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>It all kind of makes me wonder what goes into making these blacklists of words.
|
|
What was going through the mind of someone who decided that ‘rape’ was never a
|
|
word that someone should want to type when swiping? What about ‘menstrual’?
|
|
And ‘coitus’? I can’t even remember the last time I used that for anything
|
|
other than discussing “the standard post-coitus cigarette”, and then only as a
|
|
joke. Sigh.</p>
