It amazes me every time I type "blackb" and see it suggest "blackbird." It really ought to see that I never want it to be blackbird. Like when I say "I need to get some hay," and I look back and it says "I need to get some gay." The hazards of SureType... I have to set this up.

For example, $e inserts my email address, $a is my signature block, etc. I love a lot of the suggestions here, but wonder how often you find that you intend to type something else and it autocorrects to what you have here? I figure with the $ that is not going to happen, plus it is a dedicated button on the Bold, so it only adds one more keystroke I always add a $ before my custom autotext.
