Warning (Restriction) is interfering with the submission of grammatically correct keywords
The following restriction is interfering with the submission of correct keywords:
"
- Keywords only support standard ASCII characters, please remove any accented characters from your submission.
- Keywords only support the following characters: a-z, 0-9 and the - $ . & ' characters. Please remove any other characters from your submission.
This is especially restricting the keywords that include “a" as an article and the use of an apoststrphe.
For several years now, the use of articles and prepositions and apostrophes have been encouraged to grammatically clatify and specify what a keyword is representing. Now, with this new restriction, you will be getting the annoying and often inaccurate "newspaper headline" kinds of keywords that were supposedly being eliminated. (Is the apostrophe being read as an accent mark?)
Accepting “a” as an article and the apostrophe are absolutely necessary for keywords.
Autocorrect be damned, I guess “piñata” can no longer be a keyword.

What does the restriction have to do with the word "a"?
The standard ' is allowed.
My guess is you entered a bad character by mistake. For example, double quotation marks are not allowed. It would be helpful if the error message could identify the wrong character.
It is annoying that common Western accent marks can't be used, though at least we don't have to worry about incorrect usage of them.

An example of something that fails that you think should be accepted would be useful. I don't think the restrictions are new.

Two from yesterday:

“911” and “9/11” mean two different things. Guess “911” will now need modifying phrases to distinguish between the two.
