Help Resetting Swype Dictionary?

I love the swype function of my phone, but it's adding words that I've typed manually (mostly either in spanish or stuff like "Yeeeeeaaah") into the word predictions, they're always wrong, and it's getting pretty annoying. When I first got my phone and it didn't have these words it worked flawlessly.

I've tried looking of ways to reset the dictionary as it was but no luck. :(

Does anybody know?

You might try going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications. Once there hit Menu and select Filter. From Filter select All. Then scroll down to Swype and under Storage select Clear data. That should clear out all the custom words.
