When you lead a sentence with an asterisk, Rhonda, you get a bullet list. If you don't want that, i.e. if you want it to look like an asterisk, you need to disable the wiki markup. To do this, type *. The tags before and after the asterisk (or whatever text you put there) disable and re-enable wiki markup, respectively, so anything between them gets treated as plain text.
