Skimlinks is one of those sites that turns all links into affiliate links. It’s detecting her typo as a link. Apparently it caches the page where it parses the link. However, I don’t see links here turned into affiliate links, and it’s only in one theme. So I suspect the code was included in Sultantheme but not completely turned on. Still, it is partially being parsed. To test my theory, I’m going to make a similar typo and edit it, albeit, in a more link-like way: I like watching kittens compete for attention. Hmm. Doesn’t seem to hit the same caching error, but, when I wrote [kittens.com](http://kittens.com), it definitely became a “skimlink” class. ---

Well, the (probably) relevant bits of the original post appear to be the use of a quote, and then some text that goes job.That’s redible ---

oooh - interesting! That one is without an edit, just the word “That’s” and then “redible” which has now been shortened to “That’sible” Note the lack of space between the full stop after “job” and the next word. I think that’s redib…uuuuh _relevant_ Does seem to need a quote box > [@](#): > > blah blah job.That’s incredible ---

I think I was wrong about the quote box. Look at the following sentences * * * bob.who’s all gone bob. who’s all gone * * * In my writing, the only difference between the two is that there’s a space after the period. But I think if you’re viewing the whole thread in sultanstheme, the word “all” in the first sentence will be … all gone. I think you need the apostrophe close to the period for it to work * * * bob.whichever’s all gone bob. whichever’s all gone * * * those two seem to be coming through correctly ---

On OSX/Firefox, I’m not seeing this effect: The original post says “That’s incredible”, and I don’t _think_ I’m seeing it with any of the tests in this thread (though some of them, I’m not certain what was actually typed. ---

You can only see it on Sultantheme and with adblock turned off. Like I said upthread, it seems to be connected to the SultanTheme and some ad provider that is only partly turned on. ---

It’s not “in”, it’s “inc”. As in, “incorporated”? It’s interpreting that as a business name, maybe, and then trying to insert a link to that business? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-incredible-redible-tale-of-beckdawreck/830608.md?page=1)
