*Pluralising of Asterisk is unneeded as you're only referring to 1 asterisk.

Can you use it in a sentence? (I'd like a demo of your explanation)

I know, but my example wasn't doing that.

If you have a wall of text eg:

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy God*, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog,

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over Teh* Lazy Dog",

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog", The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog, The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog,

*Dog
**Teh


You still use the asterisks at the end of the bad word, and start of the corrected term at the bottom of a piece of text. That adds up to four asterisks. My example had two.
