Handcent sms

I Have been using this for awhile and I was wondering how to add words to the dictionary when they dont show up in the suggestion bar... like TTYL
 
From my experience with it, if you have it exact, sometimes the words won't show up. For instance, the expletive f*** usually comes out as duck and doesn't have it show up in the suggestion box. I think it's just something we have to deal with?
 
Try putting the words into the stock android dictionary via the settings? I have never encountered this issue with handcent...
 
Normally when inputting the word you want you get a range of options of words that fit that combination of letters and some sort of icon for further words/options (on my HTC it's a drop down arrow). Going into this further options area usually provides the option for "add word" which you then type in and it adds it to your dictionary for future use.

Your phone manual (usually found online) can explain the specifics of this for your phone.
 
Usually when I am typing a word into handcent that might not be in my suggestions I type the word and it the whole word will be up in the suggestion bar. Press the word you are using and then it should give you an option to press again to save the word.
