I haven't heard of your problem before. Are you sure that you've entered the text replacements correctly? Could you share a screenshot?

Some users have other problems with Text Replacements, usually to do with syncing or deleting. For example: iOS 8.1 - Keyboard Shortcuts: Restores Previously Deleted Keyboard Shortcuts

Which apps are you typing into? Text Replacements should work in all Apple apps, and almost all other apps, but text replacements doesn't work in one third-party application that I use (software for medical administration).

Yes, it is strange - it used to be working well. If I add in system preferences -> keyboard -> text: ok to be replaced by OK! - it doesn't work - it doesn't change ok to OK! when writing text
