+;; Abbrev mode expands one string into another string.  I use it as a simple autocorrect mode.  If i misspell a word, i run C-x a i g which will prompt me for what to expand the previous word into.  I type the correct spelling, and whenever i make that mistake again, it will automatically be corrected.  It's important to be careful not to set something that could be a typo for two words though, because otherwise it gets even more annoying.  Luckily it's easy to update the abbrevs which are stored in ~/.config/emacs/abbrev_defs.  M-x list-abbrevs is also a nice command which shows all the saved abbrevs and how many times they've been expanded.
