2. Or, the one you are hunting is to INSERT and AUTOCORRECT at the top left tab. Go to middle of screen “replace” and “with”. Type ":yo" and then tab over to the With side and type "-year-old". And then enter or "ok". Make sure it is a colon not semicolon.

In the 2nd sentence I would put the comma before "and" as a complete sentence follows = ....during the day, and subsequently,....

According to the BOS, you may join closely related sentences without commas. That is why I left out the commas in the final sentence. If you use too many commas, it becomes cluttered.
