    If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they’re spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.

        Sometimes your keyboard also remembers when exactly you use certain words - like in the beginning of sentences, which most keyboards will capitalize by default.

        Gboard does a pretty good job at highlighting your errors correctly in context. I’d guess it’s iPhone users fucking up grammar that much.

            Which is due to missing context at the end of a sentence, probably. Therefore it just chooses the most likely, but often not best, word.
            Workaround: Disable autocorrect, and check for underlined words afterwards.
