interesting

It should be disabled by default and part of parental controls only.

As well, AMD is banned along side sex. That's a new one.

Auto-correct, auto-complete and other predictive text technologies go a long way towards making your life annoying when you speak three languages and need to be at moments notice able to text in all three!

AMD is forbidden word good to know wtf!!

 

[derekullo]

I tried to boot Android on my Athlon XP 2200+ and all the computer did was laugh at me ...

 

[Laser_Skeletor]

AMD is probably banned so that the word 'and' is not misspelled all the time.

 

[kawininjazx]

I don't blame them for banning AMD from their vocabulary, it's a good choice.

 

[ohim]

That would be logical but highly unlikely since they banned Garmin also.

 

[LaughALot]

Well, now I know why no one has ever text'ed me of a panty raid.

It's common sense that these would be blocked. The kitkat keyboard supports swiping. Take "AMD" for example. The vast majority of the population will never, ever use "AMD". They will constantly use "and". Imagine how annoying it would be if while swiping it regularly came up with AMD instead. or if you ended up calling someone a geek instead of Greek.

This is likely just a list of words that are rarely used by normal people and would be awkward/annoying if they accidentally popped up. I'm sure the more benign ones were an issue for testers. They are clearly blocked to improve usability of the keyboard/swiping.

Exactly what I was thinking. No one wants to accidentally put that extra "t" on "but" or to type "AMD" every time they say "and."

This story is trying to make something out of nothing.

Google's fat ass rednecks!
All those words are present in they search engine!
No good hypocrites!

Written with Google keyboard & now Swiping it of!

 

[clonazepam]

I asked a friend about morphing, and the DEA showed up with guns drawn! wtf

 

[Parsian]

lol i guess Google is doing us and themselves a favour by banning the geek. They are trying to wipe this from the culture.

 

[abimocorde]

LMAO @preggers! What the hell?!?!?

 

[SoiledBottom]

George Carlin says there are only 7 words you can't say.....I believe George over Android

 

[back_by_demand]

George Carlin is a genius, I think he would have a few choice words around this ban list. How the hell did AMD get on the list? Maybe the cheque from nVidia has cleared.

 

[_guillem]

Lol AMD

 

[Camikazi]

@unksol Explain Garmin then.

 

[therightclique]

This is ridiculous. Who in their right mind uses the stock keyboard?

This is ridiculous. Who in their right mind uses the stock keyboard?

 

[iceclock]

[bochica]

They blocked Garmin because it was preventing people from typing Gamin'.


'Murica.

 

[iceclock]
