Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? (self.technology)

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

It's strange because it worked perfectly on older phones. Then smartphones came out and it became worse and worse over time.

It worked great on Blackberry and earlier Samsung Galaxy S devices... How did they make it worse?
