You're chasing after the wrong culprit :-) There is no connection with the
dictionary check at all. What you're encountering is the feature within
AutoCorrect to Capitalize the first letter of sentences. You've taken what
would be expected to be the appropriate action, but there is what I consider
to be a bug in the feature. To get around it try this;
Go back to the Other Corrections, delete the bb entry you made then add it
back as a new entry but include a space after the 2 letters.

In Word options, in the proofing tab, I have 'suggest from the main

tab I have added 'bb' to the drop-down list under the 'Other Corrections'.
Evidently, I have not done it right because every time I type 'bb' in an
Word or Outlook Mail the program wants to change it to 'Bb'
Bb
I typed this in Word, then copy/pasted into this message box, as you can see
it changed my 'bb' signature at he end to 'Bb"
