AutoCorrect-AHK-2.0

About and Credits

This is an AutoHotKey script for AutoCorrect.

Credits to:
The original author/creator of the script file, Jim Biancolo

My script AutoCorrect-AHK-2.0 is an amalgamation of the 2007 AutoHotkey AutoCorrect script as well as endolith's script (as of 2020-11-05) with my customisations and additions.

Further credits are listed in the script itself.

My script contains a large amount of new content from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings
(additions since the original 2007 script was made) the Main list has increased from 5900+- corrections up to 8200+-.

Attention

• Ensure the script file is saved and encoded in "UTF-8-BOM", UTF-8 is not sufficient.
  My script has been converted and saved as UTF-8-BOM and as such should work correctly.
  Though I mention this, should it have changed at any point at your end.
  You will get strange behaviour when converting letters with sepcial characters if not encoded as UTF-8-BOM.
  E.g. touché, will output touché
  You can use Notepad++ to convert files, open the file in Notepad++ and then in the top menu Encoding > Convert to UTF-8-BOM,
  then save your file.
• If your output word contains a ` (Grave accent) character (as a standalone, not as an accent to a letter),
  you need to type it twice, this is due to AHK using ` as an escape character.
  E.g. Password123`! would output as Password123! (without the ` ) so to output correctly use Password123``!
  (the first one is treated as a escape character and the second is the character to remain)

NOTE

The script contains separate sections for British English and American English

By default the script is enabled for British English
See American English commented section within the script with instructions to enable it (and Disable British English)

Changelog

• Amalgamated missing words of relevance from Wikipedia's Commonly misspelled English words (some 60+ words added)
• Added Common Acronyms to Capitalise section (Will expand this list over time)
• Added British English and American English sections within the script.
  Still needs some work (though the bulk is done) to move (American or British) words from the main list, into their respective sections.
• Copied in, thousands of new words from Wikipedia's Lists_of_common_misspellings
