I find it useful when I spell something one character off. Having the 
correct symbol right next to the wrong one allows me to see the 
difference easier. Besies, you can just ignore it if you want, it 
doesn't change much to not see the suggestion.

But sometimes the suggestion makes no sense (as in this case).

I'm just wondering if the system can detect (some of) these nonsense cases.
