swype word deletion

I know how to delete a word that I put in the dictionary but I cant figure out how to delete words like LSAT that comes up often instead of last.

I try highligting LSAT but I dont see a delete option. I try even pressing the swyoe button in the bottom left corner but nothing. LSAT is the most annoying but there is a few more that arent even words that show up.

thanks
 
Those are part of the inbuilt swpe dictionary, like NBA is. Those are acronyms. What version of swype are you using?

it came on my SGII skyrocket

I also would love to get rid of the word 'cine' from its dictionary. Whenever I try to use come, I get cine.
 
I dont think you can get rid of words that are in the inbuilt dictionary, however on the previous version of swype, the more you use a certain word, the more it becomes the higher choice. I havent finished "teaching" this new version of swype (same as yours came with gingerbread update for me) so I can't be sure if it still does that. Also, there's a suggestion box so you can always just press on "come" instead of "cine". If come does not appear, it would seem you just need to get used to swype a little bit more. You can also adjust prediction accuracy in settings.
