My personal dictionary no longer works?

[Alyssa E]

my personal dictionary is something i use often, and is certainly helpful! which is why its such a shame it has stopped working recently, a few days ago my battery ran down which usually deletes my personal dictionary, this time it didnt however. instead it now has every word repeated in the dictionary multiple times, it wont allow me to delete any of these repeats, edit, or restore from my sd card.

short: personal dictionary has doubles of words, no longer lets me delete, edit, or restore words from sd card. help?
(i use a htc desire 610, its around 2 years old)
