Default Weird macro/autofill thing going on

When I am typing in a field in my browser or an instant messager and type a
certain succession of letters, some kind of macro will fill in. For
example, I was trying to leave feedback for a user on eBay today and when I
started to type "great" it filled in "Greetings," (and a carriage return,
thus screwing my feedback up...but I digress.) I am sure I never created
any key combination macros so where is this coming from? This is the second
time it has happened. How can I make it stop??
