Samsung Galaxy S4 Keyboard Sucks. The Internet is a blessing. SwiftKey Rocks

Galaxy S4 Keyboard is poor and should be replaced. Had a problem with mine and replaced it with SwiftKey.

It’s early morning and I know I should be hugging the road to work instead of harassing the world with my ranting.
I barely managed S4 inbuilt keyboard and then one day the insane software lost all my learned words and wouldn’t learn any new grammar. Like it suddenly got tired of going to school!  Imagine typing local food names in Yoruba and the crazy keyboard starts suggesting words that ensures my jail time is calculated with a computer.
Anyway I hit my second brain;  The Internet.  Drums roll!
Apparently Sammy has been doing this to a lot of people. After bumbling around for a few minutes, I saw a gazillion good reviews of SwiftKey. Someone even said it saved her marriage, healed her of cellulite, yada yada. Ok, that was a joke.  I have used it for a few minutes now and it works as recommended. I just typed this post on it (and corrected the typos and poor grammar on a keyboard at work).  I dare not do that on a stupid Sammy keyboard, I will probably be tied down from the keyboard-induced insanity by now.
If you use Galaxy S4, this is the keyboard for your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.phone.trial.
It is a trial but I’m gonna pay for this!
