Android predictive text awful?

I must be in the minority, but I much prefer Swype over Swiftkey. I love all the quick gestures like being able to select all and cut/copy/paste, the capitalisation gesture, and there are way more word choices available on the screen as you swipe the words out instead of just 3 options.
 
This thread made me try Swiftkey again. It's still got the automatic space after punctuation that you can't turn off, even though it's one of the most requested features on their forums! Gave up (again) and went back to Google keyboard.

Also don't most predictive keyboards, even the inbuilt OS ones, learn as you go? So it stands to reason that if you change to a new OS/keyboard the predictive accuracy will take a little while to get back up to speed.

I have read this but I am really struggling to see how "added a" can possibly be mistaken for "appetite died appetite died" no matter what sort of errors I made typing I don't think that is close to it. It also changes small words to much larger words like- it at if of a.
 
when you about to type on the keyboard put uppercase on and then you will see a spanner sign then select my words and edit the words already saved that have mispellings et al. give it a try
 
Was having similar problems with Google so now on SwiftKey and it seems to be better. Everything I mentioned about the Samsung one seems to not happen on this one. So far so good.
 
Keep using it and Swiftkey gets better, once it learns your typing habit, it becomes very accurate on autocorrecting/prediciting.
 
Maybe my grudge is because I have got a big save file next to my texting/typing habits on iPhone but have only gave my Samsung since September.

It does still baffle that mistake in my Op. Just where could it come from.
