I get the idea that language assigned being conceptually different from
formatting. However by all sorts of exceptions to the clear direct formatting
option, it surely doesn't delete *all* formatting. Label doesn't match the
result which makes it confusing.

The key problem I have though, is the fact that I'm unable to undo certain
action.  If I introduce a "Char Locale" by incident (or more broadly a DF not
cleared by clear direct formatting) I'm unable to clear this setting, and
fallback to the document language

In the case here I used a spell checker, and picked a different language from
the drop down. I didn't realize the effect this would have (introduction of
DF), although it makes sense in hindsight that such tagging happens. Instead I
might added the word to the custom dictionary or using ignore option to prevent
red wave line.

If some English word appears in a Dutch text I sometimes pick some English
dictionary to check if the English word spelled correctly(or me making a typo),
not truly intending to affect the Char Locale at DF level

Bottom line introducing Char Locale is too easy and/or removing such a tag to
hard (or what I suspect: a one way route, if you introduce a char locale, you
unable to remove this again).

Off-topic: the clear direct formatting tool is often too rigorous. If I
introduce Bold and Italic and Underline, and later on I decide I don't want
Italic DF, I'm unable to do so specifically. I have to remove all DF, and
reapply all the other DF
