It's Addictive

A word expander like Ditto is built to make you more productive instantly. It takes no time to learn how to use it and you can use text substitutions seconds after installing Ditto. Before using text expansion you would spend time typing boilerplate paragraphs, signatures, e-mail responses, and filling out repetitive forms. After... well, those typing drills get abbreviated to text shortcuts that help you type faster and clear out your to-do list.

Knowing that you don't have to be overwhelmed with typing tasks is priceless. That's why using abbreviations to type out full text is addictive.
