Disable Mac from auto-typing "Thank You" when typing TY

How do I disable my Mac from auto spelling out abbreviations?

I would prefer to type in TY but my Mac keeps popping out Thank you. (with a period as well) in the middle of my sentences.

Turn spell check back on after Grammarly Desktop turned it off Grammarly for Desktops turns off the red lines that macOS puts under mispelled words. If you uninstall Grammarly, it doesn't turn that system function back on, so now if I mispell a a word in somehting like the Mail app, there is no red line. It still seems to be spell checking, it's just not marking the words. I have spell check turned on in System Preferences>Keyboard. I have turned it on in all apps that allow you to do so, but still no red lines. How do I turn the red lines for mispelled words back on please?

MacBook Pro starts pronouncing the selected words after double clicking. Apparently when I double click any text on my screen, my mac starts pronouncing the selected words. Anyone knows how to disable it?

Check System Preferences > Keyboard > Text and see if TY is in the Replace list. If so, remove it.
