Gboard: Why do I get "didn't" when I swipe "don't"? (reddthat.com)

When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

I hate fucking gboard. I use it, but I hate it. It ballooned from 13MB to more than a hundred now, but I was still using it, with Rethink to block its internet access, but new versions started lagging if they can't connect. So I had to revert to the version that came with my phone, it's small and at least works even if it's cut off from the internet. Fuck you Google for enshittifying a core part of the OS.
