Improving predictive text on stock keyboard? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I find that when I try to use the handwriting keyboard with the S-Pen, it frequently does not recognize names that I try to write. Unless I'm very deliberate with how I write each letter, it often either changes to random words, adds spaces that don't belong, or completely gets the name wrong and just lists random letters or symbols. This is especially the case when I try to write people's usernames, which are often neither common words or common names.
I would have thought that the keyboard would start to remember when I correct it with the proper spelling of names, but it's not getting the hint. Is there some other way to train or manually enter new words and get it to be recognized by the handwriting keyboard? I feel like I never had this trouble with my old Note 3...

[Q] XT9 capitalisation

Does anyone know how to tell the XT9 keyboard to allow me to enter the second letter in a word as a capital without having to manually put the keyboard into shift-lock all the time?
It's pretty annoying when wanting to enter two or 3 character initials e.g. XP and the damned keyboard will insist on Xp even though I hit shift followed by P - it doesn't even offer XP in the word list which at least would be an acceptable option.
I know I could add them to the dictionary, but that's just a pain considering I'm not always entering common ones that I would use again.

[Q] Swype questions.

So occasionally when using swype I will come across a word that I didn't add to the dictionary that prevents me from typing the word I want. This normally isn't a big deal because accidentally adding misspelled wordsmto the dictionary isn't highly uncommon.
However, the same words have been showing up even after I delete them, and on different ROM's. The same words have appeared on licensed and standalone apk's that I have used of swype. Some of the words are "jarur" and "pau", and I find it really unlikely that I keep typing these exact words and then accidentally add them to the dictionary.
I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem?
Also, is there anyway to directly edit the swype dictionary? Or do I have to just find the accidental words as I come across them?

[Q] Word spelling/own words

Hi.
When typing (i'm mostly using the keypad keyboard, (to large hands ) whenever i see that there is an word not in the dictionary, i would like to add it, and in the same time correct whatever the phone allready has suggested..
Here's the thing... i can not find an easy way to do it... now i have to mark the word and press/hold to get the menu to add it to the dictionary.. this alone is a bit enoying, but if its a completely different word, and i correct it in the popup box, when i hit ok, it does not insert the word i just corrected, but leaves the word i originaly typed... so then i have to delete the word, and type again... this seems a bit unnessesary..
Anyone know of a better way?
Stock rom, stock LG keypad/keyboard
+1, i'd love to have the ability to import, say, text files and let the dictionary picks it up from that.

Predictive text / Swipe

I do not find smartphones to be as efficient as they could be. I hate typing on glass for one. And keyboard devices get treated with horrid internals.
But my Blackberry Classic propels forward. I go to use my note 4 and cringe. It's rich in all areas but input, Can't use swipe unless you have predictive text on and it constantly "auto" corrects my words and misspell and swipe is better but still not ideal.
either way I'm getting to a point I don't even want a "smart phone" anymore. If you disable predictive text you lose ability to swype......pathetic! I said **** not duck! Or is not on. Etc I hate auto correct I hate samsung I hate qualcomm I hate google I hate lollipops I hate milk chocolate (android m) I hate society...............

If you want to say **** instead of duck save it to the keyboard's dictionary.
Try Swiftkey. The prediction is very accurate, the only times it misses for me is when I mess up, overshooting or sloppy swiping. It's a learning prediction engine, so any 'mistakes' you believe it makes will quickly be fixed. I have used it so much that Swiftkey can pretty much predict entire sentences, with variations. Most of the time I just type the starting word, and Swiftkey magically gives 3 suggestions for the next word, which one of them is the correct one 95% of the time.
For 'custom' words that get changed to 'duck', all you have to do is set spacebar completion mode to 'always insert a space' (In advanced options). Once that is on, if you find a word that Swiftkey autocorrects incorrectly, all you have to do is manually type the word twice, completing the words with the spacebar. Swiftkey will learn the word and swiping will correctly use that word from then on, and even use it in suggestions.
Also, predictive text is kind of required in order to use swiping, otherwise I am sure you would quickly realize a lot of words would be hard to type, such as 'apple'.

Samsung Keyboard predictive text

Is there any way to get the predictive text to suggest punctuation like the keyboard did no my old S5? Also how do I tell the keyboard to let me type "shop" without forcing the text to be "pshop"?
Additionally, I see no way to edit the personal library of words or to clear all the learned words since maybe it learned a miss type or 2.
