Same here - and when I selected skip word from the drop down menu "female" was dropped from my garden. How do I get it back??
Was having exactly the same problem but it seems to be fixed now.
Actually, no, it just happened to me again. :(
Me too.
keeps happening to me but im not too bothered, onna isnt too hard to remember and being asked to type the kanji version helps me to remember them.
I've found it doesn't separate the two pronounciations, so typing ZIYO ONNA works.
