How can I fix the predictive text on my Sony Ericsson Satio?

[homeAlone]

I have encountered a number of problems with my SE Satio. However, my most recent one is predictive texting. Rather than defaulting to the word used most often and recently (such as “the”) it defaults to a word which I may have used once remotely in the past (like “vie”). Similarly with “do” and “em”. Hardly critical but most annoying.
Does anyone know a fix?

On my samsung what i did was bring up the problem word, in my case "Uge" in place of "the", then, in the menu that appears for possible alternate words i scrolled down to the bottom where it says "Add new word". I entered "the" as a new word (even though it already existed) and now the phone recognizes "the" as the first word for that button combination. Hope that helps.
