Thanks for taking it up to the design team. IMO, as you know' I believe that
this function should be set as with the default of OFF,
"Tools-->AutoCorrect-->AutoCorrect Options-->Options" set with these switches
OFF (default)

My arguments as stated in
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/2020-May/010852.html
still stand. There is no problem with making the feature available should the
user wish to have it, but it is not a feature that should come already turned
on by default and causing confusion to the user who is expecting a return of
exactly what is typed. Let's not add in frustration into the suite where it can
be avoided.

Let me know if you need any more input for the design team's review.

Common sense should prevail and there should be no need for a poll.

Marc
