Whenever I start out a sentence with "I" and then press the space bar, it always becomes "II". Anyone know why it duplicates it?

SwiftKey: why can't I type the word "I"?

Sounds like Swifkey has decided to predict that you mean "II" when you type "I".
To remove a predicted word, longpress on the prediction in the prediction strip and choose ‘Remove’.

What happens if you actually press the middle word instead of the space bar?
I set up my SwiftKey to turn auto-correct off. If I press the space bar, it doesn't change the word I typed. I generally type the word and then select the word in the prediction list.

If I press the "I" word, then it inserts "I" correctly. But this is inconvenient because I type fast (hoping SwiftKey will correct me) and I don't often look at the predictions.

I find that with all auto correct features, there will be some instances where it will be wrong about what word to choose. That is why I always have auto correct off and always select the predicted word. I actually use the centre predicted word as my space bar, so I can see what word it will choose. Just pretend the centre corrected word is your space bar and you may be able to catch incorrect predictions. I assume you are looking at the keys as you type, so just look at the predicted word instead of the space bar when you finish a word.

But in this case, the center predicted word IS "I", and it still changes what I type to "II"

For what it's worth, in the SwiftKey advanced settings you have a few options for the space bar.

Had similar problems with Swiftkey. I decided to uninstall it when I learned that they don't allow you to use 3rd party keyboards....

Not sure what that is for you. It never does that for me.
There's an option to get SwiftKey to relearn your typing patterns. Give that a try to see if that helps.
