If you're a sweary person with an iPhone, you probably know the struggle of autocorrect constantly "ducking" up your texts.
When autocorrect changes it to "don't duck with me"
JUST LET ME DUCKING SAY DUCK, IPHONE. DUCK.
Well, there's now a life hack to solve that problem, and it's here to make the world a better, swearier place.

"I like to think of the diseases that may be cured and the art that may be made with this freed up time," Thrasher said.

The future is now. Go forth and say "fuck."
