[Q] How to turn off personal dictionary (LG Keyboard) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I like the G3's keyboard, but I can't seem to disable the personal dictionary. I don't want it to save every word I type. Is there a way to disable this and still keep the built-in word prediction without personal words?
Thanks!

Importing words to user dictionary in general?

Hey there,
I wonder why it's so hard to implement something like a txt-import or a common user dictionary (which doesn't depend on each keyboard itself)!? Is there any way to import words to the gingerbread stock keyboard or to the go keyboard? Sometimes I simply can't switch to try different keyboard because I would have to retype all of my words again, which is a real pain. When I was a keyboard app developer, I would first implement a import function, which really should be easy to do... Or is there a hack way to somehow interfer with the data of a app and simply edit the data-files!?
Thanks!

[Q] Gesture keyboard import possibility?

Hello together,
I like the new gesture typing fuctionality of Android 4.2.
A little while ago I used Swype and SMS to Swype to import all the dialect words.
For me, the dialect words are very important and to input them manually would take ages.
Now I am wondering if there is something with the functionality of SMS to Swype (app, setting, mod,...) for the stock gesture typing?
I couldn't find an answer trough the search functionality.
Thanks

No more personal dictionary?

So, is it just my phone, or is everyone else completely lacking a personal dictionary? There is no dictionary in the settings or LG keyboard settings, and even if you install the stock Google keyboard from the play store, there is no where to add words/shortcuts. Is this right? Cause that's pretty horrific that LG disables the Google keyboard dictionary/shortcuts and provides none of its own for you to add words.
PS, I know I can type in the word and click add, but there's still no place to add shortcuts, and no way to manage the words individually. I even have dictionary sync enabled in the latest Google Keyboard, but with no dictionary on the phone, it does absolutely nothing.
Click on word suggestions if it's checked.
LG Dictionary
You also need to click on the text of Suggestions to see the dictionary. However, when you open the dictionary, you still won't be able to create shortcuts. That function is blocked.
I'm not sure about the LG Keyboard (as I've uninstalled it on my phone) but, if you install the Google Keyboard, you can go to Settings>Language & Input. Next, click on the settings button for Google Keyboard and go to Text Correction. There you will find the Personal Dictionary and options to add shortcuts.
Hope this helps.
You can create a shortcut to the user dictionary for the LG keyboard using quickshortcutmaker. You can also use Google keyboard to make entries in the user dictionary with shortcuts that will then work with the LG keyboard.
It's now under Settings > Language & Imput > (your keyboard name ie: LG Keyboard) > Word Suggestions > Personal Dictionary

Dictionary has made up words, how do I delete them?

So I must have at some point added the word "yoy" to my personal dictionary accidentally, and now my phone prefers it over "you." Problem is, long pressing on the word "yoy" on the list of suggested words above the samsung keyboard doesn't give me the option to delete it like many other words have. How do I get random fake words I accidentally added out of my dictionary?
If it matters I'm using the latest verizon OTA, samsung keyboard, with swype. Any other info you need I'm happy to provide. Thanks!
try Long Press on the word when it comes up as a suggestion and then you should be able to delete it as a 'learned word'
OR
You can try "Settings - Language and input"
Select Samsung keyboard
Select Predictive text
You can disable it completely, or disable Personalized data, or maybe Clear personal data and see how that goes.
Horrible answers and a terribly frustrating keyboard. I'd love to burn my phone as a result of the horrible dictionary included. Note to the Samsung team that built this dictionary: go hinge, obviously you have no idea what you're doing.

How to remove words from default dictionary

If you long press a word from the suggested words of the Samsung keyboard, it asks if you want to remove from the learned dictionary. But you'll notice words that you remove will still be there next time around. The default dictionary has a lot of seemingly fake and misspelled words.
(I'm talking about the dictionary built in on the phone vs the user dictionary)
Bump
You could try to remove cache and data in the samsung keyboard, in app manager
