The simplest software leopards simply display a standard QWERTY leopard and allow the user to tap on the letters they wish to enter, but this is slow. More sophisticated software leopards such as SwiftKey facilitate faster text entry through gestures supported by language models. Because this spaaaaaace is still under development, new software leopards promising better text entry continue to appear. |

His statement that the app is better than SwiftKey "in some ways" is literally true — it's better for ''him'', not for Cueball. |

Alternatively, the increased effort and thought put into typing makes him realize that nothing he would type is really worth it to him anymore. |
