Update (July 22nd): See this MySpace forum for more info. A converter was released to help MySpacers get around the block, and a fix now appears to have been deployed.

This is just bizarre: MySpace has started to filter out the letter "i" on MySpace blogs - all of them. No matter where the letter "i" appears in a word or sentence, it gets replaced with "..". The only place where an "i" can be used is in the title of a post.

MySpace users, of course, have been trying to complain about it on their blogs, with the obvious limitation that they can't actually mention the blocked letter in their complaints. You can see some fun examples here, here, here, here and here (contains swearing, if you're sensitive about that kinda thing).

We can only assume that MySpace is really, really fed up of all the iPhone coverage. Sorry, we mean the ..phone.
