+# Preventing Typos with Abbreviations
+
+Are you are prone to mistyping *the* as *teh* or *function* as *funciton*?
+You can add one-line abbreviations to your `.vimrc` file to auto-correct
+these mistakes for you.
+
+```
+abbr teh the
+abbr funciton function
+```
+
+By adding these to your vim configuration, whenever you type the misspelled
+version, vim will know to instantly replace it with the correct version.
+This can be handy, but use it sparingly.
