Use the semicolon
Name it something like ;y with your expansion being
-year-old
I think she should have replaced the semicolon with a
comma and should have taken out the other comma you have in there.
Semicolon -- Am I Wrong?
The QA people in my company insist that a semicolon goes in the following sentence - I beg to differ. What's your take?
"He appeared comfortable; in no acute distress or pain."
I work QA and no way does a semicolon go there!

I would put a comma but definitely not a semicolon.
markers...I settled on semicolon (sm)
for phrases and the straight brackets, i.e. [, and ], for the word markers after playing around with it. I kept hitting the shift key when I tried to use / as a marker. For times when I want to use a semicolon, I made a short form jj (and now I don't remember why, but there WAS a reason, lol).
Anyway what's important is that you settle on what's comfortable for you. The markers were a big change for me, too. Good luck and keep trying! You can do it!
You don't need a macro. Just add a semicolon in front of
your yo abbreviation so autocorrect will back up and take out that space. Then type 34;yo and it will expand to 34-year-old.
Agree with this, shouldn't have a semicolon.

Use a semicolon prefix before your yo abbreviation, then you can
type 34;yo to get 34-year-old. There are lots of prefixes you can use--see SH's help file. BTW, this also works in autocorrect.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Replace semicolon with comma, remove comma
