Hi Betty,

I haven't seen the most recent version of Antidote, but previous versions
incorporate a feature that allows the user to adjust the sensitivity of
correction. For non-native speakers, this has the effect of activating
checking for otherwise unexpected error types. Have a look in the user's
manual/online help.  The actual settings should be under "preferences" or
whatever it is called in the new version. I would expect simple letter
inversions, classic typos, to be caught whatever the the sensitivity
setting. It's worth reporting the problem to the producers.  I've worked
with them in the past and they are very keen to pick up corrections that are
being missed.  Jack
