Let's see...without a sample from the CSS in question I will have to make an evaluation and perhaps provide a potential solution to your problems blind. So here goes...

I suspect the problem is that you have typed every in your CSS file backwards and that is why it is not being recognized. For example:

instead of

blockquote { margin: 0.1em 0 0.1em 0; padding:0; }

you might have

} ;0:gniddap; 0 me1.0 0 me1.0 :nigram { etouqkcolb

Now, someone might have a better guess than I do and if I get a chance to see the CSS first hand I will probably come up with a better solution.
