Thank you for looking into it, Stuart.
Actually the list of such 2-tuples in Polish would be massive, as -byś, -bym,
-by, -byście, -byśmy are super common suffixes that you add to verbs in the
past tense to create conditional verbs. 

Then there are suffixes that result in participles: verb +
-jąc/-jący/-jącym/-jącego/-jącemu/-jąca/-jącą/-jącej/-jące/-jącym/-jących/-jącymi
(all of which are sort of equivalent of -ing)

You can see how long a list of definitions is required for a single verb - and
that's only for two suffixes.

It would be soooo much easier and more efficient if I defined autocrrection for
as many verbs as possible, and had a finite list of such suffixes that I could
attach as I type. 

At the moment I've just found a way around it - I type the verbs and their
suffixes separately, and then, after a day's work I Ctrl+H them: 
find: [space]-byś (etc.) / replace: [w/o space]byś

Than kind of does the job, but severely obstructs the flow. As a writer I'd be
super grateful for smoothing it out.

I'm positive that the option to autocorrect words while at the same time
deleting the space preceding it - effectively joining the autocorrected word
with the one preceding it - would find many other uses, too.

Thanks again,
Mac
