The words in my posts are constantly being changed. Why is this happening?

4  2016-08-18 by feanor-01

I have started to notice that every time I write a post or a reply to some one, my words and punctuation are constantly being changed. It is now taking ages to respond as I have to proof read everything again and again. Even after I have submitted, I then see a mistake that wasn't there before and I have to edit my words. Why is this getting worse?

I will try from now on. As of tonight, It has become almost impossible to post anything without constant revisits.

Even stranger is I've never had this happen, ever, all my fuckups are my own. I never reddit on mobile though, could this be a factor?

I know it could easily look like it is just my own errors and I'm writing it off, but it is getting noticeably worse. I only ever post on mobile so it could just be the app on the phone?

Could be whichever was updated last as you said it got worse recently.

Could be, but I have the same phone as always and have never had an issue up until recently (the last two weeks). The odd word I'd possibly understand, but it is nearly every other word. Also, does not occur on any other medium, i.e text - email - etc.

Edit: The word I'd; checked before posting.

I've noticed it as well. It's very strange, but I notice it. I'm glad you remarked on this.

I have no proof, but it happens randomly it seems like on certain phrases that traditionally, I don't mess up on. We all know our weaknesses right? Well, what I'm saying is I know what words I screw up; these ain't them.

This has happened to me, too!

I'm glad to see that it's not just me. I thought I was going mad.

Perhaps to discredit users?

1  feanor-01 2016-08-18

If it takes an age to write anything, one might just give up. Anything that encourages you to not bother is a bad thing.

This isn't funny...just annoying.

2  safarizoneisland 2016-08-18

This is happening to me too, but with my emails. Almost like they're being changed after they're sent.

That used to happen to my comments. There were changes that made spelling, punctuation and grammatical mistakes. It might be a tactic to make the comment seem written by someone stupid and therefore lessen credibility.

I am leaning towards this as well.

Change your password asap?

If it's true maybe the problem is in your desktop and then that wouldn't help, but it's worth a shot to eliminate variables.

On mobile? Recently change or update keyboard app?

1  feanor-01 2016-08-18

No, which makes it all the more annoying.
