The Ghost in the Machine

The Ghost in the Machine


Okay, I’m human, I make mistakes. But I also went to school and paid attention. I have spent half this night editing my grammer in old & current posts! And while I’ve had a drink [Jameson’s] or 3, I know how to fking spell!

So, either the keyboard has been drinking - or there’s a ghost in the machine. And I know which, because I don’t share my whiskey!

Nevertheless, is anyone else experiencing this? Words are left out. Often little words like “to, is, me” etc. I’m typing with a keyboard on an iPad Pro; Could that be it? Mac resistance?

Mind you, I‘ll take full responsibility for when ‘’James” encourages me to say something stupid. Instant Asshole - just add<b> alcohol.
</font></b>But WTF?!

It can’t just be me; my parents raised me better!

Anyone?

-Bedazzled...

PS - It just did it again!

Wherever you are, that’s where you’ll be...

Yes, as others have said, there's a hungry Blog Gremlin. I've found that once you get used to seeing certain words being omitted (such as 'to', 'me', and others), it becomes second nature to place a space in between the letters, or even a period.

It's not you, it's the site. It's a bug they've (hopefully) been trying to get rid of for a long time now, as long as I've been a member (4 yrs), even before that. I've seen a few posts from others in the past, about difficulties trying to post while using the app on certain phones, also.

That said, welcome to "the nuthouse that is blogland". Sit back, grab some popcorn, your favorite drink, and enjoy. You'll see.
