Snow Leopard has text substitutions built in

I just checked System Preferences' "Language & Text" option after reading this blog post from Mailplane and discovered Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) has text substitutions! 

I have Typinator which does all this (and more), but it will be happy news for some of my friends. If you wear many hats, you can add your various signatures for starters!

Smooth-coated otters at Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve

Resting on the wood chip bed on the recently maintained bund at the freshwater pond at the reserve's visitor centre. Earlier groups had watched them hunting in the river. They took a mid-day nap at well, mid-day and then sprainted a few metres away on the bund  before ambling back to the river again at about 12.50pm.
