This happened on a Treo 755p. I noticed that typing "sec" + SPACE yields
"second" and "secs" + SPACE is "seconds" but I couldn't find any other such
abbreviations. Also, I couldn't find any web reference to this.

Please give me some details and/or pointeers.

Thanks, PaulN

I get the same behavior on my 700p (with ROM update). Hopefully
this is very limited. I prefer TextPlus or something like it
where I can control the word complete behavior.

On a 680, 'hse' (which of course means 'house' or 'health and safety
executive') gets turned into 'she'. Palm's suggested fix for this bug
is a hard reset, which seems ludicrous. If this is something that I (or
the previous owner) set in Preferences, I can't find it now, and if it's
built in I fail to see how a hard reset would fix it.

'sec' behaves as you say on the 680 too - which is equally stupid, as
'sec' is also an abbreviation for 'secretary'. This prevents me from
writing a memo to myself about "demi sec champagne".
