TextExpander auto-corrections list

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

TextexpanderOne of the things that most helps me to move quickly and efficiently through my email messages is the text snippet manager TextExpander which handles all my signatures, pre-formatted replies, reply templates, impossibly long and complicated names, frequently-needed URLs and so on and so on.

SmileOnMyMac, the app’s developer, has just released a list of over 100 snippets for common typos. When imported into the app, these work as “auto-corrections”, replacing words you might mistype.

Download the free file from SmileOnMyMac and install it with the “Use additional snippets from:” option in TextExpander’s preferences pane.

If you make mistakes when typing (like me) but don’t want to part with the cash for a dedicated on-the-fly spelling corrector like Spell Catcher X (unlike me), this list will save you time and energy.
