Word substitution

About word substitution
Word substitution is designed to replace specific text that you type with preloaded word substitution entries. If you type text 
that can be replaced with a word substitution entry, the text changes after you press the Space key.
Your BlackBerry smartphone has built-in word substitution entries that correct common mistakes. For example, word 
substitution changes hte to the. You can create word substitution entries for your common typing mistakes or for 
abbreviations. For example, you might create a word substitution entry that replaces ttyl with talk to you later.
