Blog issue.

Blog issue.

I have problems making blog posts.
I set a post and come back to it later and find that words have been stripped out of it.

Simple words. I put them back in, and a lot of the time they get stripped out again. I smell a broken perl pattern matching subroutine.

For example. This sentence

I had a lot of time to think, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield to my dire circumstances.

Becomes this, time after time:

I had a lot of time think, strive, seek, find, and not yield my dire circumstances.

Any advice on the issue would be appreciated.

List of stripped-out words, with more to come:

it
to
old
me

years
dog
name
all
pay
on (French, not English. Go figure.)
money

 What she said! Umm..."she" would be BiggLala.
Another way to keep some of the words that are known to disappear from disappearing is to put an asterisk in front and after the word, or quotation marks.
Or you can use a period in the word to help it stick. *to* "to" t.o
But the easiest way is to post the entirety of the post in your first comment.

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

That's good, pagancountrygirl. That's excellent. I'm glad I ran into you guys. I really wish we could fix all these problems and just have sex.

 The site suffers from antiprepositiontarianism. Wait until you end a sentence with a word that ends in 'K' and see the K and the period disappear. Oh! ... and all numbers between 10-19 vanish.
Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

The 'k' thing has happened, bj. I used the phrase "It stank" to describe a paper mill and it came up "It stan". It's more than annoying. It's like having an epileptic poltergeist for an editior. Not that I would actually know what that's like, you understand.
