I just got a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and the Swype Predictive Text Dictionary is driving me nuts! It is highly inaccurate because it is too sensitive -- there are a ton of words in the dictionary, many random words that one would hardly have a need for, making it frustratingly difficult to type simple words, most of the time the autocorrect hits with something I don't want. For example, trying to type "too" brings up words like Tooele, Rood, Ryu, and Foop. Huh?? Or "felt" brings up Celt, Feely, Feltham, Felton, amongst others. In addition, every email address I ever wrote to comes up in my predictive text. This also adds to the frustration, because emails come up all the time as suggestions when I'm trying to type simple words, and the email suggestions take up the whole suggestion row. WTF?! Is there a way to change this setting? I've already figured out that I can tap and hold on the word to bring up the option to remove it from the dictionary, so I'm slowly customizing it that way and it's a little better. But I've been doing that for over a week now and it still brings up all kinds of way-off-the-mark suggestions. I want to be able to use the Predictive Text feature because it's the fastest way I've found to type on a mobile device, but the Predictive Text Dictionary that came with my Note 5 is ridiculous. I get that Android is smart and wants to give you the option to use all the words in existence. But seriously, there should be a way to tell it not to include certain words from the Dictionary, such as names or email addresses. It's so friggin' annoying, and makes it maddening to try to type.

PS. I also find that when I'm writing a longer note, it's frustrating easy to hit the voice-to-text key, which is right next to the spacebar, bringing up the voice-to-text prompt when I'm trying to continue type. Ugh...
