      Autocorrect begs to differ, usually only when the word is out of my field of vision.

      I took typing, on typewriters, but got efficient years later on IRC and ICQ. 60+more wpm. I’m still fairly proficient on a familiar KB too.

        any good IRC servers left or did it all move to discord? Ive been meaning to get on an IRC server thats not just a mirror of the in-game chat of the game I play.

          I don’t know, it was a very long time ago. Maybe do a search, based on your interests?

          Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.

      Tried using swipe typing before and honestly I’m just faster typing normally.

        Yeah, autocorrect is bad enough without the extra emphasis on it with swipe.

        It’s vastly better when you need to type with one hand

          True, but otherwise I just type faster normally.

      It works well for casual conversation. But if you’re trying to have a technical conversation it will fail on uncommon or custom words or phrases.

      Can confirm, it’s worth the effort.
