I have had this happen a couple of times, and I am not sure what is happening..but I see words in my in my responses that I didn't write. I wrote a response this morning to someone and said something about Savitz or Savoritz triscuits at Aldi, and when I read the discussion it had something about David's Biscuits?????It really had me scratching my head...I did not write that. I have had that happen once or twice before. Am I the only one?

Sounds like our friend Otto has been messing with your responses. I've had that happen...it changes words and I don't notice until after the response has been out there for a while.

I never noticed that but I have noticed a few times that my tablet will add words or replace words and I don't notice before I post it.

Yes, something like that must be happening, but it messed up the original meaning.

Are u not using a mobile or a tablet that has a word suggestion? That is why you have to recheck before you hit the respond button

@snowy22315 i can't think of other things. When i use my tablet i usually have those problems too. In my phone i off those spelling check, word suggestion as i am using the local language its not easy. I hope you can figure out what's happening.

There is that spell check or whatever but it draws your attention to what it thinks are errors and it is you who will decide to correct or not correct. You must be having a special auto spell check (lol)

It could be your spell check/autocorrect acting up. Or if you are using your mobile for mylot, it could be that you punched the wrong key when you thought you were hitting the right one. This happens to me alot. I always have to reread what I've written and then edit to correct my mistakes.

I wasn't..and their is a difference between Savitz triscuits and David's biscuits, although I could see where it could be typed that way accidentally, perhaps that is what happened.

I never experienced anything like this so far @snowy22315 ! That looks bit strange! Do you use any program which automatically completes the word before you type? Thanks!

No, I wrote that on the Chromebook. Sometimes I do write on the Kindle or phone, but not that time.

I did not..although mistyping is a possibility I suppose. I was stunned to see what was in print when I looked at it. I do thing there was some kind of auto correct thing going on though..it B and T for biscuits and triscuits are not close on the keyboard.

@snowy22315 Very true. Something to keep an eye on I suppose.

It sounds like autocorrect or spell check being a little ambitious and a finger may have just accidentally hit something and you were not aware of it.
