I have an Evo Android with Swype on Sprint...for the life of me, what is wrong with these people...Swype is a great idea but why use a 'real dictionary'? If I do a sloppy job of entering DINNER it comes up with GUINEA DUNDEE CONDE DUNNE DYNE SYNE Let me ask a question of anyone reading this...in the world of texting who would ever use those words? F'ng NOBODY!! How about a simple dictionary so those weird-ass words never show up?? If someone wanted to use DUNDEE then make them enter it a letter at a time and then it would show up in the custom dictionary...too many nerds at Swype headquarters who are so into the concept they forget that most of us use a very simple version of the English language...And while I'm here, there's no way to remove words that constantly pop up that you just can't change...how about when you enter AT and get f'ng ARTY every f'ng time...what is an ARTY, like ARTSY FARTSY?? An art afficionado??
 
The other annoying thing about Swype is the green 'space' button...that is the most useless option I have ever seen...it puts extra spaces where they shouldn't be and no space where it should...ie if you go back to edit a sentence the green button shows up and you need to backspace every time and then enter a space to get the spacing right...so why have the button anyway...
 
And while I'm at it, why is the 'send' button right next to the text? You have to be very careful when you're editing to not accidentally hit the 'send' button before you're finished the text...and that goes for the most annoying thing about Swype is why the microphone button is next to the period button...after all this time I will still occasionally hit the microphone button...very annoying...
