My abbreviations are not expanding when I type the abbreviations
I have the following in my ~/.emacs
for initiating the abbrev mode
(setq-default abbrev-mode t)
(setq save-abbrevs t)
(setq abbrev-file-name "~/abbrev.el")
(if (file-readable-p abbrev-file-name)
(read-abbrev-file abbrev-file-name))
(dolist (hook '(erc-mode-hook
emacs-lisp-mode-hook
text-mode-hook))
(add-hook hook #'abbrev-mode))
I get the following message saying that the abbreviation file is loaded
Loading /Users/baburaj/abbrev.el (source)...done

I also get the following when I type M-x list-abbrev
(text-mode-abbrev-table)
";af" 1 "aerofoil"
However when I type ;af
it does not expand to aerofoil
What is the error that I am making? How can I fix this?
