iPhone’s swipe now useless with latest updates

My iPhone thinks I’m in love with Andrew.


Whenever I type ‘and’ using swipe, it autocorrects to Andrew. I don’t even know an Andrew. It does this every time even though I’ve fixed it a million times.


Also, the Orwellian policy of Apple’s where you can’t swear. (I don’t dislike ducks as much as one would think.) You can’t even type the word “Hitler’.


Swipe is now effectively useless. Where can I get a less left-leaning community-approved dictionary?


And don’t tell me the solution is to use General->keyboard->text replacement. That is a ruthless hack which we shouldn’t need to do.
