[MlMt] Auto-typo [language customizations, two-step approaches, more]

[Henry Seiden]

I found several support docs about auto-correction in either or both specific application and related to System Settings, so it is possible to use some auto-correction and language customizations in other apps… So are these desired features?
Apple: HT207767, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207767
How-to-Geek: https://www.howtogeek.com/363905/how-to-disable-or-customize-autocorrect-on-mac/
Microsoft (relevant to their own apps, particularly Outlook and Word for spellcheck and auto-correct options:
* https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/let-outlook-for-mac-automatically-detect-and-spell-check-languages-in-your-emails-1a94b031-78c3-4aa8-abe2-c2d89a01a2d4
* https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/word-20162019-for-mac-spell-check-works-but/4ab1d2dc-bd7e-40ab-aad7-435e2531c1f4

Not in my opinion for MM, but that is me I suppose a feature request to Benny would be considered, but I think off or on with Apple’s System settings is good enough. Similarly for language customizations. For example, I use a set of text substitutions in MacOS to handle fractions, superscripted numerals that has served me well. Luckily these carry through to all apps and to iOS devices (mostly).

Respectfully,
