Title: problems posting a fic with the word "twitch" in it... what the...?

This is really frustrating.  I tried to post up the second chapter of Chaos Card Captor Sakura, which used the word "twitch" twice.  The problem is that the fic won't go to a preview because it claimed I used the word "twit".    I recognize the site has to keep certain more... eh... provocative words out of these fics, but this might be a bit much.

Incidentally, I already posted the chapter.  How I got around this annoying little bug was that I used the / and \ keys in succession to draw out the letter "\/\/", so it could go through, while still being readable.  I don't think I broke any rules while doing this.  I did not, after all, intend to use the word "twit", whatever the problem may have been.

Anybody care to inform me of just what that was that kept me from using the word "twitch"?  I ruled out grammar because "hoee" and "kozo" seem to go through just fine, and indeed, Webster agrees that I spelled "twitch" right.  It's a PG-rated fic, so I can't exactly see why even the resemblance of the word "twit" would break any rules.  (Unless there's something I don't know about the rating system).  Do I need to up the rating to R to use the word "twit", or is this just some kind of glitch?

It's a glitch that I thought was corrected in the past...evidently not. Awhile back when I posted a chapter, it detected the same thing. I went through my story with a fine tooth comb until finally I found the 'twit' senerio when I wrote the word 'notwithstanding'.  :BangHead: I believe I ended up re-writing around it since the story I'm writing appears first elsewhere, then added later on here. I'll see if it can be looked into and taken care of.

Its a result of the filter list in place as-well as the checking function. I'll look into it.

Does anyone even use the fanfic section anymore?!!

Besides, this was posted over 4 months ago and it's been brought up again. <SIGH!>
