You can customize this to only the major modes where you want abbrev-mode
to be enabled. These values are specific to my use case.

Thanks for the attribute. I wasn't expecting any so I was surprised :)

(setq save-abbrevs 'silently)

This is repeating (based on the snippet you pasted above).

(setq-default abbrev-mode t)

This would enable abbrev-mode globally. So the per-major-mode abbrev-mode
enabling above would be redundant. Also I wouldn't enable any minor mode by
just setting the mode variable. The canonical way would be to use
(global-FOO-mode 1) or (global-FOO-mode) if global-FOO-mode is defined.

So how do I 'turn on' case-fixed please? Would it be something like -

Above will not work.

I haven't yet tried but check out the solution someone posted here:
