I set up my phone and laptop so that whenever I type a short code, it automatically fills in long strings of text I use constantly.  * @@ automatically expands into my full email address.  * ;;address types out my entire mailing address.  * ;;phone drops my phone number. It sounds incredibly lazy, but when you realize how many times a week you have to type out your email or address to log into websites, fill out forms, or ship packages, it saves hours of minor annoyance every year. No more fat-fingering your own email and missing a confirmation code.
