How do you remove words from Swype's dictionary?

Question

I know how to remove words from Swype's user dictionary. I want to know how to remove words from Swype's built-in dictionary. I get very frustrated with all these random words that I know I'll never use! I can't tell you how many times I've had the word "Getty" show up instead of the word "get".

If there is really no way of removing words from Swype's built-in dictionary I'll probably need to find an alternative. That's probably another question though.

Answer 1

Swype uses a separate dictionary. You can access the settings for both from within the system settings:

From the homescreen, open settings → language & keyboard

• for Swype continue: Swype → Personal dictionary
• for the default keyboard: My dictionary

There you can edit/add/remove words from your user dictionary.
