I had the same idea as you: use iabbrev for autocorrect. As the list of corrections grows it takes longer to insert new abbrevs and the total time makes it inconvenient to load them with every running instance of vim.

This is now a solved problem. Take a look at the code from my version that uses the vim 8/nvim function timer_start to load the words and execute iabbrev commands asynchronously in batches at a delay.

With this I am now using my corrections on every transient instance of vim. My list of over 43,000 corrections loads in about 6-10 seconds without perceivably blocking user input, which is only two seconds slower than doing it while fully blocking user input.

I profoundly disagree with your hadn -> hand abbreviation. Consider, if you will, good sir, the case of "hadn't". Thank you and goodnight.

In your AutocorrectForceLoad function you're saving the previous directory with:

let previousDirectory = expand("%:p:h")

But that's not necessarily the real previous directory. You should be using getcwd().

I think I'm right about this. I keep being transported against my will into the parent directory of the file I'm editing.
