Life Is Too Short For Bad Code: Emacs Tip #21: pabbrev (predictive abbreviation expansion)
pabbrev is a yet another package for abbreviation expansion in Emacs. Unlike dabbrev, this one analyzes the contents of the buffers during idle time, and shows potential expansions based on word frequency. This package also shows potential expansions as you are typing.

p[oint]
pr[ogn]
pre[-command-hook]
pred[ictive]
