What version of swype are you using? I have 2.4.44.10912 and it works fine.

Try turning off word prediction. It tries to predict before you finish swiping and it doesn't work very well...

I recently decided to try slideIT because many people said it was better than swype but I hated it. I haven't tried shapewriter in several months because I have been happier with Swype.

Word predictions. I wasn't sure if it was on or off by default. I just knew that I tried it before and it was horrible. I'm not sure what is up with your install of swype. Maybe your dictionary is hosed up.

I can't go back to the stock keyboard. I hate typing now that I've been swyping.
