Why do I keep finding words missing?

Post Reply New Topic

Lately when I've been reading other people's posts on WP, there have been noticeably a lot of sentences with words missing, usually before a full stop. It's not just a typo error because it normally seems to be a word before a full stop. And it did happen to me the other day too when I was writing a post. There were some words missing when I read through it after submitting, and then when I went back to edit it, the missing words were there but weren't when I submitted again. There was just a gap as though I hadn't wrote in the word.

Example: ''I have Asperger's, OCD, and .''

You can tell there was supposed to be another word after the ''and''.

I'm surprised nobody else has found this yet.

I've never seen that problem before. Maybe it is related to your browser? You've often posted about having malware on your computer - maybe it is related to that.

^ Agreed - I've never seen that here.

Strange though, I did get my browser sorted a few weeks ago and haven't had any bugs or viruses viruses since.

In the post above, is it supposed to say ''once you find words that are missing, they are no longer missing'', because when I read it, the words ''find words'' are not there, so the sentence just says (to me) ''once you that are missing, they are no longer missing''. Are they there when you read it?

And does it say ''viruses'' twice in the first sentence? It doesn't with me, but I typed ''viruses'' and it didn't come up when I submitted, so I typed it again next to it and only one has come up. Do you see two?

I have no idea you're talking about.

Aha! I know what is causing the

Never mind.

Ah, come on. Have a of humor.

Well I just thought it was worth asking because usually this site has a lot of weird bugs that suddenly appear.

It is also frustrating because I like my posts to make sense and I didn't want others to read my posts and find it doesn't make sense, especially if the most important word in the sentence is missed out. Sometimes one word missing can change the meaning of the sentence.

But if nobody else is experiencing it then I suppose it's fine by me because while I can notice words are missing, nobody else can so at least my posts look how I want them to look to everyone else.

Sorry about my poor ability to give explanations. It's one of those things where people need to be shown by me to get what I'm on about.
