I'm not exactly sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I see these expanders and sometimes word expanders mentioned in many of the emails.

I have no idea what this is or what it pertains to.

A text expander is software that enables you to key an "abbreviation" and get the whole, written-out kaboodle.

For instance, you might key in "abbr" and when you press the spacebar for that "word," "abbreviation" will appear on the screen.

There are pre-programmed terms available for some expanders, and you can create your own.

Yes! It IS a good deal! It's an even better deal if you have it include "and accommodation" at the end!

You have to be careful what goes into it!
