How Can I Edit the Phone Dictionary

[AC Question]

I do realize you can edit words you "add" to the dictionary, but honestly I need to delete some of the auto-predict words they use like "Thou". I mean seriously, who uses "Thou" instead of "you". It comes up all the time and unless I catch it I'm chatting in middle ages format.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.

By the way, this is for a HTC One M8

I feel your pain, I always get abd for and or sio for so. Anyway to your question to the best of my knowledge the only way to do what you're wanting to do is root. With root access you can go into the dictionary folder and make changes, but otherwise I'm afraid there's no way to exclude pre-loaded words. You may try looking for an app in the market, but I'm not sure how that would work.

So there is no way to delete the pre loaded words on my phone?

Ime, with SwiftKey, as you type, and if you tap the prediction instead of completing the typing, those words stop appearing as predictive.
