Dictionary has made up words, how do I delete them?

[xanderharris86]

So I must have at some point added the word "yoy" to my personal dictionary accidentally, and now my phone prefers it over "you." Problem is, long pressing on the word "yoy" on the list of suggested words above the samsung keyboard doesn't give me the option to delete it like many other words have. How do I get random fake words I accidentally added out of my dictionary?

If it matters I'm using the latest verizon OTA, samsung keyboard, with swype. Any other info you need I'm happy to provide. Thanks!

try Long Press on the word when it comes up as a suggestion and then you should be able to delete it as a 'learned word'

OR

You can try "Settings - Language and input"
Select Samsung keyboard
Select Predictive text

You can disable it completely, or disable Personalized data, or maybe Clear personal data and see how that goes.

Horrible answers and a terribly frustrating keyboard. I'd love to burn my phone as a result of the horrible dictionary included. Note to the Samsung team that built this dictionary: go hinge, obviously you have no idea what you're doing.
