On a number of occasions, I have found that my entries to iC were truncated when I posted or previewed them. I have been meaning to post about this, and kept putting it off. Today it happened twice, and after the first time, I started copying to the clipboard before I submitted. As a result, the second instance allowed me to document what was in the edit box before and after I clicked "Preview." Furthermore, observing the two instances, I think it may be due to using the Google spell checker. Also, switching between normal and rich-text mode may have something to do with it.

From comparing the before and after values, I see that the data was not just truncated, but actually reverted to an earlier time. I hope this information is useful to someone.

Below is what was in the text box before and after the loss occurred:

Before submitting (note the misspelling of roughtly, which was later corrected with Google spellcheck): That's the way it seems to me too, but I try to look for the most reliable data, and not rely on impressions.  The Google search seemed most reliable to me, and seemed to confirm the Wikipedia article, but maybe there's a flaw in that. When I read your post, I tried the same searches on Yahoo and got roughtly the opposite result, 3.3 billion to 2.0 billion in favor of email over e-mail.  I'm not sure what's going on.

After submitting (Note that italics was lost): That's the way it seems to me too, but I try to look for the most reliable data, and the Google search seems most reliable to me.  Maybe there's a flaw in that.  When I read your post, I tried it on Yahoo and got roughly the opposite result, 3.3 billion to 2.0 billion in favor of email over e-mail.
