I think you’re going to like this change a lot, Brett! I’ve had these short expansions for years, and I’m so thankful. My original TextExpander set was called “German Acronyms”. Essentially a collection I took from a dictionary that expands common acronyms like “z.B. → zum Beispiel” (for example), “Hbf. → Hauptbahnhof” (main station), “etc. → et cetera”. I’ve used a double-period at the end, so that I could still use the acronyms without interference. In case of “etc.” the acronym is just more common than its abbreviation. My collection also includes things like “dk → danke” (thanks).
