Soverywrite, it sounds like exactly what I’ve been reporting. While I regret that you are experiencing the trouble I am, on some level it is nice to know that I am not alone (meaning, it’s not just me or my machine). On my other related post ([url]Auto-correction substitution - curious behavior]), MM replied last night with the following:

At least one other person has reported this; it’s not just you. The substitutions are pretty literal in that sense, so you can get around it (somewhat) by using the spaces–for instance you could replace " id " with " I’d " and that should work, although there are probably occasional places where you wouldn’t have a space after the word (due to some other punctuation) so the substitution wouldn’t happen there, etc. I have this on the list for Lee to take a look at, so we’ll have to see what he’s able to do.

I did respond that I’ve tried to add spaces before and after words in the list (trying to force it to find whole words only) but it did not help. For now, I’ve just had to remove words like “ot,” “hte,” “od,” “id,” etcetera from the list and catch them manuall in a spell check.
