Ubernyms: the ultimate text-replacement plugin

The purpose of ubernyms is to allow you configure a set of frequently used abbreviations that will be automatically encoded nicely whenever you use them. The goal is to make them visible in a way that is literate for both humans and computers. In other words: we tag them appropriately for your computer, and expand them as necessary for humans.
The main use for ubernyms is still going to be abbreviations, including acronyms. But you can also use it for other things like:
• Words that you always want linked. For instance, the links to ubernyms are being added by the plugin.
• Short forms of words or phrases or even entire paragraphs that you frequently have to type. The whole text can be placed to replace a single word.
• Pictures or emoticons you use frequently. I have photos show up in my DomTT tool-tips for my kid’s names: Katrina and Mikayla.

Changes I have made to Ubernyms MU:

Moved the Configuration Page from Plugins to Options
Changed the post method to accomadate WPMU urls
Changed the style and link paths from wp-content/plugins to wp-content/mu-plugins
Increase the lifetime of the popup from 5 sec. to 6 sec.

note: This plugin is also great for glossary or dictionary definitions of key words. We use it on our fiction blog to give little side notes about characters, places, etc.

Instructions:

Put file ubernyms.php in base of mu-plugins folder.
Put folder ubernyms in mu-plugins folder.

An “Ubernyms Configuration” submenu will appear in your blogs’ backend Options page. This will explain more about how it works.
