Why are there missing spaces? e.g. "Ithink", "Iwent", "aPC"?

Is it so that you can duplicate the original source with less duplication penalty?

I think it must be an overzealous/haywire word correction algorithm that doesn't believe single letter words (a, I) should stand on their own. Or maybe it was retyped by someone by hand and missing the space after those letters is the typist's idiosyncracy. I noticed typos which were similar to one another in different respondents' answers.


(I posted this but it's not my blog)

I don't know why there are spaces. The "source" page the blogger links to is a squatter.

Perhaps a copy/paste problem?

I like your link better but it's too late for me to edit my posting.
