> expanding "t" to "the" seems like a no-brainer, just like "st" to "something"

I have jk mapped to escape in vim, and for a key combo that seems like it should never occur naturally, I’m often surprised how often it misfires when I actually need to type “jk”.

Globally remapping hundreds of things like “t” and “st” would actually be quite frustrating I think.

Like imagine you’re emailing your friend about a trip to st petersburg, or about some code containing the variable t, etc.
