--- Comment #35 from tommy27 <ba...@quipo.it> ---
I think there's an elegant workaround to avoid autocorrect interferences while
dealing with dates without removing the existent autocorrect entries for
fractions.

just open the autocorrect replacement table and enter this:

replace:  ½/.*   with: 1/2/
replace:  ¼/.*   with: 1/4/
replace:  ¾/.*   with: 3/4/

thanks to the autocorrect wildcard .* (feature available since 4.2.4) if a
fraction symbol is followed by a slash it will revert the fraction symbols to
numbers preserving the date format (i.e. 1/2/2014 instead of ½/2014)

whereas if you digit 1/2 or 1/4 or 3/4 followed by a space the autocorrect will
convert simple numbers to fraction (½ , ¼ , ¾)

I propose to add those  ½/.* autocorrect entries as default entries in next
releases in order to avoid the annoying autocorrect replacement that happens
while digiting some date in single digit mode.

once this has been done we could mark the issue as FIXED.

@Lazlo Nemeth
I think I've found another useful application of your great wildcard
autocorrect feature. what do you think about it?

I'd love to hear feedback to other interested users and developers as well.
