expression?
expr[box]ession?

Is it some kind of wordfilter or something?
Edit: Didn't affect my test phrase...

You don't mean an actual box, like the empty glyph box when your browser sees a non-ascii character but doesn't have the right fonts for it?
Or the brackets box [] for arrays in many programming languages? I used that on the plurals poll.

Also, what the hell is with the expr[box]ession I keep seeing all over the place? Is someone using accent marks in some really gay encoding (everything not unicode) or what? I've seen it twice in this thread and in a few other threads. Is it some kind of meme?

The only thing I can think of that you are seeing is this: [] which is an open and close bracket. Can you tell us whose posts you see them in?

It seems to be an html character code to tell the browser that he must not truncate the word (zero width space).
It may be a glitch in your browser or maybe with a font because it should not show anything.

To Aninhumer : I said html reference because it use the classical &#[number/word]; way to render special character like ∑.

ZWSP, U+200B, character reference in HTML: &#8203

Nothing in the source for me.
Which browser are you using?

EDIT:
Oh no, I just copied it out to gvim and there's an extra character there.
But it's definitely just a character, not a html reference.

EDIT2 @Kodlen:
I know, I mean it's just "displayed" in the source code as an invisible character for me. There's no &# reference.

I don't have that problem either. I'm thinking it's your browser.

EDIT: I don't have the problem you have, but I do see the thing in the source that you saw.

I didn't type that.

I'm using Chromium in Linux, if that matters. It shouldn't do, as you're receiving your page from the server.

Maybe Chromium added an extra character or something?
 
EDIT: I made a mistake. I had downloaded the wrong page and somehow not realized that less was parsing the HTML... I just hit / right away to search and didn't really look. It shows up when I download it with wget, so the site is mangling the word somehow.

EDIT2: testing: expressions

I think I will just go with the Gp2x Wiz.
Well I decided I don't want the Wiz I will just wait for the Pandora to become something that you don't have to special order. The Gp2x Wiz turns me off in every way again the I can wait the Pandora taught me patience is virtue.

Meh I know my way around Ubuntu just fine.

That doesn't count. ;)

Seriously, That's like saying "I'm good at baseball" because you played T-ball and could hit the ball off the tee. Or "I'm good at Golf" because you do well in Putt-Putt.

On a related note... does anyone know how to insert one of those 'munching popcorn' emoticons? I'm surprised it's not in the list of defaults for this forum :p

So before this thread gets stupider, I'm still kinda curious about my question. Why does the word expression become mangled?

Seems like a better use for a thread than bashing people for not knowing linux.

Well, we have been waiting for you to answer our question: "What Browser are you using?"

Because the forum inserts what I think is word break points, and Opera beta doesn't handle them correctly. I'm seeing the same with Opera beta in Linux, but not in 10.10.
