Maybe this is old news to some of you but it blew my damn mind.

You can drag across the space bar to move around whatever you typed and make corrections.

I feel like this was added in a recent update. To my phone anyway. I just noticed it like a month ago after an update. I'm still not used to using it. I always try sliding too soon so it starts doing the slide typing thing and I keep overshooting where I want the cursor to go.

I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1

You can just tap on the text and use the cursor to fine-tune. It's maybe 6/10 on the usefulness scale. 3/10 if you use the space button to switch languages as well.
