My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Chrome 53.0.2785.143, Flash 23.0 (release 0)
This text was caught by the filter for some reason:
The grade codes are \sqrt(-1), 3.33, 7, 13, 789, 10054, 39248, 0, -|\sqr(pi)|, 666, 734000000, 21, 555
The weird thing is that it accepted the text when I entered it like this:
The grade codes are $\sqrt(-1)$, 3.33, 7, 13, 789, 10054, 39248, 0, $-|\sqr(pi)|$, 666, 734000000, 21, 555

It could be that it thinks you are trying to give someone a phone number.

How do
\sqrt(-1)
and
-|\sqr(pi)|
look like phone numbers?

Well “666, 734000000, 21, 555”, you then added $ signs so it would be like a price.

but I only added $ signs to \sqrt(-1) and -|\sqr(pi)|. Also I did it like $this$, not like $this, so that wouldn't make sense anyway.

So you have one price “this” and another price (the content afterwards).

$5$6

could be
$5 and $6

To it, it might seem like a typo

i dunno.

Yeah, it's tripping on this sequence

13, 789, 10054, 39248, 0, -|\sqr(pi)|, 666

because it thinks there is a 1-800 telephone number buried in there. You can see that there is a 1 and an 8 and 00 - but they are separated by other digits, which you would think would cause it to reject that sequence - but it's not.

We upgraded the filter to a new version a while back and number sequences don't seem to behave like they used to. Thanks for pointing out this issue - we'll dig into it and see if we can figure out a better way to do this.
