It's not just you, and I have no idea why it happened or how to get rid of it.

My conjecture is that you didn't prepare the post on LessWrong, emailed it to yourself, and then used a search engine to find it in your inbox. The search engine "helpfully" hi-lighted your search terms in the post, which you then copy-pasted into LessWrong.

You can probably fix it by going into the LessWrong post editor, clicking on HTML, and removing whatever weird tags are causing the problem.

Ah, yes, that sounds about right. I just went to try and fix it... and honestly it's painfully tedious and I think there's more valuable things I can be doing with my time. I will bear this in mind for next time though.

I got it for you.

Thank you. Did you do a "find" search or something else with special moderator powers? (it just occurred to me I could have probably have done that)

I copied the raw HTML into my favorite text editor, found-replaced the tags that were highlighting the word, and pasted the edited text into the LW editor.

Gotcha. That was within my power to figure out and I shouldn't have given up so easily. Thanks again.

This seems to have resulted in an extra space before the word "rationality".
