The auto-correct feature in Word for OS X is mighty nice, fixing my spelling errors without requiring me to pull up a context menu, but they seem to have forgotten a correction that would be so handy for me. I spend much more time writing in HTML than I do in Word, so I habitually punch "<i>," when I want to italicize a title, rather than open-apple-I. As a result, I frequently look back at my writing and realize it's full of HTML markup, rather than properly formatted. It seems like it wouldn't be so difficult for Microsoft to auto-correct this mistake, and I imagine there are more than a few geeks like me who don't make the conceptual switch between HTML authoring and word processing very quickly.
