Turn off prediction in Swiftkey?

Is this possible, I can't find it anywhere.

It is a nice feature, but try backspacing inside of google and you can't delete the word cause it just keeps changing it. Kind of funny actually.

I would just like to turn it off.

Unfortunately it's a known bug with some Google services / search bar. You need to swipe energetically from the right side of your keyboard towards the centre to make the whole word disappear, but that's just a workaround, of course.
And SwiftKey is all about prediction, so unfortunately it's hard to get rid of it completely, but I'm not sure this would help. Disabling all languages makes it worse in predicting, but it still tries ;> probably based on custom dict or its own mechanism.

See if changing the (smart) space behaviour changes anything (it probably won't).

Thanks can you guys recommend a really nice thumb keyboard?

I've included a few of my thoughts on keyboards in the apps thread and there's an ongoing discussion on these here.
