For all who say "Word...

For all who say “Word has this” or “autocorrect,” there’s the flip side out there: in nearly every program, I can expand commonly typed words (sure, I spell them right, but do I really NEED to spell phenomenological or epistemological that often?) and not worry about it. I use the same thing on my Newton all the time. Especially when transcribing, it just plain helps.
