How to delete incorrect words on a galaxy S5?!

[Skattered Ink]

Once upon a time it was dead easy. You just start to spell the incorrect word, tap and hold it until the phone asked you if you wanted to delete it. Ever since the last update this function has been disabled for some stupid reason. The main word I've been having trouble with is "have". It keeps auto-incorrecting to "habe". It wouldn't be that much of a issue if I used that word regularly in the context of shortening "hey babe".

How do you delete these annoying words?!

Welcome to Android Central! Is "habe" actually showing up as a suggestion above the keyboard? Is that what you're long-pressing to try to delete or forget?
