That PDF was a victim of our complete website remodel. We neglected to move it into the new site. It's fixed now. Thanks for the heads up. @Joe: Sorry about that!

Eventually I was at 75 WPM! Obviously taking a typing test over and over isn't going to improve my score. I use the Dvorak keyboard layout too, so it gives me an edge.

I did create snippets for the most common ones, but we are talking about thousands of snippets here :( it'd be nice to implement this feature in the future. thank you very much for your prompt reply.

TextExpander only expands abbreviations when they are at the start of a word, so it can't do what you are asking. If it were me, I'd add città to my snippets with the abbreviation "citta", but judging from your name and your question, you are probably writing in Italian and need to use a lot of words ending in à, so that's not too helpful. :-( I'll pass your comment along to our developers so that they can consider it for a future update of TextExpander.
