Changing Abbreviations And A SuggestionDate:
Sun, Nov 2, 2008 6:11:21 pmWell, I tried to change the abbreviation "Saturday" to "sat". I have
found this choice of the automatic abbreviation baffling, and supposed I
should have changed this long ago before I got so frustrated I went in
and blew the procedure. My error.
Now I have a dictionary called "Saturday" and have so many Saturdays I
can't count them.
Ok, I'm done huffing and puffing; but I wonder what led the developers
to automatically display the word "s a t", as Saturday whether or not it
is capitalized. Most of the contexts in which I use the word have to do
with position, not the calendar.
I respectfully suggest that words like sat and sun be left alone unless
they are presented in upper-case in the text of the written material.
Ok, griping over. Now I need to get myself outta this jam. Somehow I
must have chosen the wrong setting in the first place, so I'm wondering
what I did wrong. I had no trouble making the change in 6.1. Perhaps
that's why I got so frustrated. Sorry again for losing my cool over
this.
