iPhone users rejoice! A simple workaround has been found to allow your iPhone to recognise naughty words without autocorrecting them. The hack is to add a new contact to the phone with the lowercase version of the ducking word the ducking autocorrect keeps ducking up. Wash rinse repeat for any other word the iPhone auto-correct doesn't ducking like.

<sarcasm>Alternatively, switch to a real mobile OS like Android which has entirely different ways to disrespect its users.</sarcasm>

    I can swear in Messages. I just tested. I typed "fucking" into a sentence and iOS didn't auto"correct" me. I had to test that as I don't generally type "bad words" into my phone, but it works just fine if I want to. I'm not sure what this article's on about.
