Discrepency between PM typed ingame and what is sent

I just noticed something odd. I was responding to a PM someone sent me ingame, and after replying, noticed that what was in my outbox did not match up with what I typed. I would consider it a bug, but it seems to be an intentional feature. I've highlighted the differences below. If I was cursing the guy out or writing obscenities I would understand deleting or modifying words, but the changes seem rather strange, and the change from "selection" to "chooseion" is particularly jarring. Just wondering what the reasoning behind the changes is.
what I typed wrote:Quite well so far.
Deleted my old account a couple years ago due to RL issues. But those are finally getting under control, so I figured I'd make a new one. Just created this account 2 days ago. Got a little bored yesterday, so I dropped $10 on AT and raided like a mofo. I'm kind of liking this new mix and match race
selection. I like to RP Goa'uld, but I always found the Asgard special tech highly annoying(and therefore highly effective). BTW, have there been any changes to ascension? Like, do you still have to play the ascended server once you ascend, or have they made it optional? I ask because I always found that server both boring and annoying, and I might just trade the G
&R for full SS, forgo ascension this time around and focus solely on account size. Anyhow, thanks for the PM.

This is to prevent scripts etc being run simply from PM messages. For example scripting to unbank all naq, and send it to the person whom PM'd you. Auto deleting your account etc.

I am suddenly very glad this feature exists. That is some pretty scary stuff.

Indeed. Scary what you can do with a bit of knowhow.
Does this resolve the bug for you?

Yes, it does. Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind it.
