Ah, you have discovered the ancient Usenet pl*co curse. I can type
pleco with impunity as I don't have any. :-p

Well, I know that I have never typed anything but pl*co, and two of my
fish died with the asterisk on their backs, so the curse must
certainly be gaining strength, building immunity and growing
increasingly contagious thanks to all those non-believers who insist
on striking the e key instead of reaching up to the shift-8. Please,
rafm community, for the sake of the future health, perhaps the very
existence of pl*cos everywhere, make the extra effort to type
carefully. I was delighted when the Boston Red Sox were able to
Reverse The Curse, but I fear the pl*co curse may prove a bigger
challenge.
