Samsung Captivate :: Can't Get "how's" Stored In Dictionary

I'm beating my head against the wall on this one. Every time I swype "how's", it suggests "hows" and "how's" doesn't appear as an option no matter how many times I manually type it in. Also, to add to the annoyance, I cannot successfully delete the non-word "hows" which suggests it's in the stock dictionary. Why? It's not even a word, and I should be able to delete words even if they come by default if I don't ever use them. This is so annoying. I use "how's" all the time and yet Swype is utterly useless for it. I have to manually type it every time. What a speed-bump.
