	I have these rules set-up: Change "a$$" to "butt" Change "@ss" to "butt" I have a user who is spelling her street name, Escuela, and the bad word filter is calling it "Escuelbutt". Fauna is turning into Faunbutt. All these people, living on "butt" streets. What's going on? She uses Google Chrome to access the site. I'm using IE8 and don't have the problem wiht my posts.

	I'm only guessing but if you have used the actual characters $$ and @, then that may be the problem Similar issue discussed by Bruce on this topic may help you

	The Bad Word filter now uses Regular Expressions to make it more accurate and more powerful detection of words. In Regular Expression the $ symbol means 'End of String or before the beginning of any new line' Try escaping the dollar symbol by changing it to:- a\$\$
