The issue is that if you leave a cell with the superscript applied on the last
character then, on returning, /even/ if you then start with a space, all
subsequent characters will be superscripted.

e.g. The cell said '14th', you leave and rejoin, adding ' of july' results in
the ' of july' also being subscripted.
If you were to type '14th of july' without leaving/re-entering the cell, it
will correctly remove the superscript from 'of july'.

My point was that there's clearly some logic applied after typing a suffix to
remove the superscripting, but this is not being applied if re-entering a cell.
