It didn't choke on the whole word (note that only the key part is boldfaced when the forum poster rejects it), just the substring. The full word should technically be allowed, but it's not worth my time to go renovate the message forum engine just to allow it, particularly when there are numerous other equally literate words that mean pretty much the same thing.

(Darien decides now to read the entireties of the threads before posting replies to them) Well, err... yeah. I think that's about what I said. Only you said it first. Heh.

Oh, and, by the way - I recall trying to post something about swords or titles (it applies to both) awhile back, and there wasn't an acceptable alternative word. Not that I'm saying to renovate everything for that; I just thought I'd mention it. :-}
