I cant get substitutions to use uppercases correctly in the bulk editor. for example, when i try to replace a word for "OGs" it comes out as "Ogs". The way i found around this is to edit them one by one through "Words & Phrases". Just a little inconvenience, but otherwise its a great extension. Enjoying it for the past couple years, thank you (:

So I was wondering what I am doing wrong? The YouTube video I played had 3 words of profanity and it didn't catch even one of them. Thanks for any help.
