Brad,
Oddly, as I view it, the word "him" is being displayed as "hI'm" in posts.
I'm using Firefox 41.0
Also, words within quote marks are not showing in thread titles.

The first issue is a recent addition to the site's spellchecker. I'll fix that tonight.
Due to the way text is processed in some scripts, double inverted commas are converted to single ones in titles, or at least that is what should be happening.

Originally, I put "him" in the title of this thread and it was deleted. Do you experience the same thing?

It's supposed to change "him" to 'him'. I'll check that tomorrow night.

Brad, I see that your signature line fades away. But that can't happen unless you deliberately wrote html code to make it happen...

My keyboard ran out of ink and was thus replaced.

I did comment on the refusal of it to display, I think claim properly & I ended up using different wording.?
They don't build key boards (or much else) like they used to. I have had a shot at the manufacturer of this one, It isn't out of warranty yet & this is the third keyboard, naturally its not one of theirs now & obviously after a performance like that I will be dubious about buying their brand again.

My favourite keyboard was the old IBM ones with the keys that clicked. They were big and heavy but they did the job and I could type at about 130wpm on them. No chance of that on the ones they make now, especially on laptops with the flat square keys, there is no tactile feel to them so one's fingers don't really know where they are supposed to be. Having Arthur Rightus doesn't help either. The problem is the manufacturers never do what the punters want. One of them will set a new trend and the others follow blindly like sheep. EG: The flat square keys were a fashion item on Apple laptops about ten years ago. Despite Apple's small market share and huge market shares dominated by HP and Dell, they now make laptops with flat square keys because they probably felt their market share would be under threat. The flat square keys are crap, there is no other polite way to describe them.
