Help Swype keeps suggesting words even when told not to

You're probably not missing anything. I just got a Spectrum and I'm also having trouble with Swype. It's not accurate. For example when I entered "furniture store" it typed "dimitir soiree". It types tui for food and folios for food. I have trace turned on so I know I'm hitting the right keys. I've adjusted the setting for speed vs. accuracy a few times but it doesn't help. Swype worked fine on my last phone. There must be something wrong with the program.

Hmmm. Let me check........yes, everything on the page is in English except what I key in.
Nono, it's the KEYBOARD itself that doesn't appear to be in English, hon.

To change the keyboard language: push and hold the circled key:

until a menu like this pops up:

Select US English. You're all set.
