Hi
The code checks for any characters that aren't English (roughly
speaking) and creates a button for each. It's possible my code is not
checking to see if the type of question is "multiple choice" before
including each such button. If that's the case, then my code isn't
clever enough. I'll need to take a look at the code generating those
buttons and report back.
