[provocating]

I have had the strangest chat issue come up recently. Not all the time, but at least half the time when talking in /ooc or /tell I get the horribly garbled chat. This is talking with UF client and common tongue as GM, common tongue is at 100 and so is gnomish, which my gm is. Anyone experience this? Possibly a rule setting I missed somewhere? Players have not complained about not being able to talk amongst themselves and I never see garbled text from them. I stripped the gm of all items thinking that could be it, nothing seems to work.
