Swype’s Tablet .com Key Not So Much of a Time-Saver

Say you’re logging in somewhere and your user name is an e-mail address that ends with “.com.” If you use the Swype .com key, at least on the Samsung Galaxy tablet, a space is added before the dot.

Last we checked, most domains don't have space characters in them. In fact last we checked, most every dot ever written in English was not preceded by a space. This fault is not exclusive to entering e-mail addresses—that was only an example. It appears to occur everywhere spaces are automatically placed between words.
