vim-fat-finger
==============

A simple vim plugin that automatically corrects common misspellings and typos as you type.

## Misspellings

This plugin supports over 4,000 common misspellings, as defined in `plugin/fat-finger.vim`.

The settings in the plugin file are defined using Vim's `iabbrev` keyword, which is part of Vim's built-in 
abbreviations feature.  The definitions follow a format of `iabbrev`, followed by the commonly misspelled word, 
and then finally the desired corrected version of misspelling.

For example:
```
iabbrev acheive achieve
iabbrev contraversy controversy
iabbrev demenor demeanor
iabbrev embarass embarrass
iabbrev lisence license
iabbrev morgage mortgage
iabbrev nightfa;; nightfall
iabbrev offred offered
iabbrev precice precise
iabbrev teh the                                                                                                  
```
