Q: finder corrupt? - Strange characters in menu

I restarted my computer because it felt bogged down. Upon re-start I can no longer open Word, Excel etc...I have 2004 copies. I can re-install or upgrade. But the real strange thing is that my finder how shows items like this in the menu:

 

Under File L1,

 

Edit Menu -  ME13, ME6, ME1 (all with shortcuts like AppleZ)

 

Other menus have the same pecularities...

 

Then on the Dock if I right click on the finder it says: N80, N81, N82, N83, N84

 

Is my Finder corrupted? How do I get rid of this? It doesn't seem to effect anything else but is worrisome. Thanks.

iMac 2.6GHZ Intel, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
