I hate this.

Why anyone thinks swiping one letter at a time is better than typing with ten fingers at a time (if your screen size allows it), I have no idea. Even typing with two thumbs is better than this. For one thing, dragging from one letter to another is SLOOOOOWWW, and for another, your finger while dragging tends to get in the way of your view of the keyboard. Swipe typing has got to be the dumbest idea since the automatic grape peeler.
