    With swype, there’s a whole new generation of typos - swypos.

    Today I asked a coworker to check the robot. But the text said check the double. To attempt to decode a swypo you have to use a combination of guesswork and looking at the trace path for the suspect word to see if it might be close to your guess.

        I’m not sure. I think swipe is the method of typing whereas swype is or was a brand.

          Swype was the first swiping keyboard but SwiftKey perfected it. SwiftKey is also Microsoft spyware that was formerly Israeli spyware so there’s that.

          Swype was closed down over half a decade ago. Wild.
