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.

Isn't swype dead? You can still use SwiftKey though.

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.
