Someone must have gotten creative with a find and replace for the word "flag" for some reason. I would be leaning towards typo as well. Malicious typo would be hard to say.[/quote] Yeah, you're right. But I've seen other words with "fl" that are just "f" as well. It's not just the word "flag." But yeah, it's apparently not just ligatures. Hmmm. Amazon said they'd try to fix it but made no guarantees at all. chuckers said on August 4, 2010:
