"et" doesn't need to be abbreviated, it's a full word. "al." is short for "alia".

You could argue that typos shouldn't get turned into links, but there's simply no good way of stopping that from happening.

Yes, yes there most certainly is a way to completely prevent that from ever happening.

Get rid of this whole automatic link detecting shit altogether and require the use of https:// before every single link.

Believe it or not, that's how the internet used to work, and we didn't have stupid shit like attachment.zip
