Did you see all the other options in the AutoCorrect Option tabs?  There 
are a lot of parts like exemption, replace, auto complete, that might be 
useful to someone.

The ignore double spaces is an option that needs to be looked.  To be 
honest, I do not know what it does when it is checked.  I use double 
spacing between lines of text, since that was the "preferred" way the 
last time I took an English course that required "typed" papers.  The 
professor required double spaces between lines of the "proper English".  
I wonder if double spacing could be for double spacing in the line spacing?

But, there are many option in the Auto Correction window's tabs.  They 
need to be looked at carefully to see which ones are needed or even 
wanted for your typing of a "default document".

One thing that bothers me it that the "replace" option list does not 
replace consistently.  Most of the first part of the list, down till you 
get to the fraction replacements, seems not to want to work most of the 
time.  The first one of the -- to the "long dash" is one I could use a 
lot, but half the time it does not work when editing the text and adding 
the double dashes and expect the long-dash to be shown.

Also, who came up with all those misspelled words?  Is there a chance 
that any of them might be wanted in some form of English or non-English 
language?

Well I was just wondering about those things.

Still having some controls over the auto-correction helps.
