Gboard: Why do I get "didn't" when I swipe "don't"? (reddthat.com)

When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

Agh Gboard. Sorry I don't have a better answer but if anybody knows a privacy-friendly android keyboard that's got quick GIF access and this swipe-typing, that'd make my day and I'd gladly spend the time re-training my thumbs.
