Apple Is Removing "Ducking" From Autocorrect And It's About Fucking Time

Apple has said it will no longer automatically change one of the most common swear words to 'ducking'.

The autocorrect feature, which has long frustrated users, will soon be able to use AI to detect when you really mean to use that expletive.

"In those moments where you just want to type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it, too," said software boss Craig Federighi.

WE'LL ITS ABOUT DUCKING TIME!!!!

Holy shit I can't believe its 2023 and we've got 3D printing and augmented reality and flying cars, but we can't swear on the phone without Apple thinking we meant to text our boss that we're going to duck out of the office today. Like, get with the times Tim Cook. I mean, it's a known fact nowadays that there's someone listening inside our phones, so why can't they just pay that person time and a half to have him decipher when you're trying to use some fowl language.

Side note: I have been a certified phone user for 14 years now, and I'd hammer the under .5 times I've truly meant to text the word duck to someone else. Which brings mean to my main point: why was this even a thing in the first place? Who is Apple to decide that we can't use bad words?

I'm in a Love / Hate relationship with autocorrect anyways. Obviously it's a very helpful feature when you're make a simple typo and it fixes it right up for you, or if you don't know how to spell a word and it gives you the correct form. But the amount of times my phone changes "out" to "put" or visa versa when it makes literally no sense to do so is absurd. Same with "good" and "food". And the absolute worst, for me, is when you have someone in your phone with a name that's also a common word like Hope or Chase. Randomly capitalizing those words for me in the middle of a sentence is something that should've been solved ten years ago.
