Summary

You have now learned how to spell-check your documents, both in once-and-for-all mode and on-the-fly. I strongly suggest that you try on-the-fly spell-checking for a few days. I use it all the time now, and it has given me the bonus that I actually have learned to spell new words.

Talking about abbreviations, you have also learned how you can avoid spelling out long words that you write over and over again, and how to make Emacs fix those little, but very irritating, typographical errors, such as teh.

Finally, you learned a few functions for transposing text and changing case. In Hour 13, "Macros," you will find that these functions are especially useful in macros.
