Samsung SCH-R500 Hue

ok so yea i have it on t9 and everything but usually when you try to spell a word that a phone doesnt recognize it lets you spell it then save it so when you want to use that word again you can use it cause it saved it. for instance it doesnt recognize the word pissed, i have to put it in abc mode and spell it out the long way...is there a way to get it to recognize words like people names....cause i cant stand abc mode and spelling it letter by letter. also it doesnt recognize my name Lindsey....This is so frustratin!!!
