Example of Word Subs on Bold 9900<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

You may not aware that many smart phones comes with integrated “word replacement” programs. These programs substitute either a custom generated short form into its intended full word\/sentence or replace commonly misspelled words. For example, during this post, the BlackBerry Word Substitution has replaced my “ur” with “your”. It saves time and energy. Specially if you are a professional on the go (such as Geologists, Engineers, Road Constructions, etc) it is a very valuable tool to streamline your emails and text messages.<\/p>\n

Since you can create your own custom substitutions, I made short forms for all my email signatures. The phase “usig” for example will print my entire name, UCID, Email, Phone and Major. Such a life saver! I also use subs like r=are and ty=thank you.<\/p>\n

However, these word substitution is a double edge sword. If you get used to composing complete coherent sentences using the aid of word subs(such as writing a paper using a pen and papers), you may automatically replace words with those subs on academic\/work papers. If you did not notice that words are not subed in, you may become a victim of your own design.<\/p>\n

Anyway I think if you use properly, word substitution is a great program. Use it and don’t abuse it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
