A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I decide where my fucks belong, not my app. We can talk about implicit bias here because I just don't trust giant corporations anymore, but the app telling me I didn't mean what I did, whether we want to assert innocence and good will on behalf of the designer, is still censorious. That's my point.
the whole point of having autocorrect is for it to correct your mistakes. but definition you're delegating decision making to your app. with that delegation the app maker would rather not get in trouble for not correcting someone's intended duck and leaving it as a swearword. if you don't want your app to decide where your fucks belong, turn off autocorrect.
or use something other than iOS. if anything my keyboard guesses I'm trying to swear too frequently now.
Look I KNOW the point of it, stated and unstated, laregly it's a mechanic to avoid liability in, well liable; It's sold to us as some convenient buddy to make our lives easier, I'm not new, I'm just cynically rejecting it. It would be just as easy for the makers to include in the contract that your own consequential fuckups are exclusively yours and using the app assumes that condition. I turned it off wherever applicable long ago and never looked back. I am also the type to review my message before hitting send to see if I made mistakes and correct them manually anyway. I think it's better to stay mindful than to get complacent and just let the app pilot your conversations, it really gives that added authenticity to the swearing too ;].
