How can I make the Swype keyboard type "I" when I press "i", now it types "ki"?

I am using the Swype keyboard preloaded on my att Captivate (Samsung Galaxy S) phone and I like it a lot. My only problem is that when I try to write I I'm used to just pressing i and letting the phone capitalize it. However Swype routinely writes ki when I am trying to write I.

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they know how to fix it?

Also, is there a way for me to remove ki from Swype's internal dictionary so it'll never attempt to write it? It might be useful to modify that dictionary for other reasons too, so I can add personal names, local street names, etc.

Is there an auto text replacement app that I can use to always change ki to I?

Thanks!

Capitalizing in Swype is pretty easy. If I wanted to swype Joe I would hit the j and then swype to a point above the keyboard on the screen, then back down to o and e. If I wanted to do JOE, I would swype from j to a point above the keyboard, then do a little loop while still above the keyboard, then swype to o and e.

So, in order to get a capital I, hit the letter i and the sweep up above the keyboard and then let go.

Open up the memo application (or anywhere that you can enter text), enter the "ki" that's giving you problems, highlight it and hit the Swype key on the lower left; it will prompt you to delete the word.

In general it will remember new words that you enter; you may have to type them out letter-by-letter first.
