Good point, but no, it's not set to 'none'. It's only the one word that failed to be checked correctly.

However, this might be part of the truth, as the word 'upwardss', if inserted into another chapter in the same book, is correctly flagged as wrong.

If I search for 'language = none', I get large chunks of text selected, but if I reselect the same text manually, the character designer dialog shows the correct language (US English). Huh?
