I primarily type on mobile via Swype, which may account for varying mileage.

For the record, “primarily” took 4 tries, “varying” 2, and “took” 3.

I type this way because I tried it out on Android a decade and a half ago and it was fucking great!

Yeah makes sense, I didn’t consider swyping. I write by tapping individual keys, often holding the phone with both hands while typing and using the thumb of left hand and the index finger of right hand. Using iPhone 15 Pro.
