I use it for some of the more common names in my novel which have characters not defined in my keyboard like Jana?ek and Rosický. Which I can obtain by typing without accents in lower case. What I have noticed is if I make an error in typing (say “rodicky”), then I sometimes need to erase all the way back to the beginning for text expander to realize that I did want it to intervene. Except when I try to do it on purpose.

I’d like to like TE, but it can’t handle large snippet files. I have 1,000 snippets, and TE chokes. So, for now, I’m using TypeIt4Me; it zips along with my large file.

Hopefully Smile on My Mac will re-write their code to accommodate large snippet files, since I prefer the flexibility of TE with capital letters.

I use TE and love it. In fact, I used it to comment on this post.

You can use it for all sorts of shortcuts which lift your day, like say:

a**hole for… The President of The United States, George W. Bush.

Or PITA for ‘you, our most esteemed client’

Just might need to double check your documents though…
