I don't understand the problem. For me the abbreviation mode works well.
All you need to be aware of is that you need a space like character
before the abbreviation and one after it in order for it to expand. I don't
know exactly which characters are space like or not, space itself
definitely is.

The defaults are very extreme, expanding for instance an 'm' to
I think module, which makes it impossible to use any variables.

You can run it once with the default set on, then edit abbreviations,
and look for the abbreviations added, copy them to a file.
Then turn the defaults off, and add those you want to the abbreviation file
and activate the abbreviations by I think C-c C-c
