Cutted messages in profile posts

I don't know if it's happening in other ways, but I posted a message on someone's wall and when I checked it again, it wasn't what I posted. A part of the phrase seemed to be cutted off. I've already seen this before, but I thought it was my mistake. Until now, because I took a print of it (for other reasons), and when I checked, the last part wasn't there, even if for me, before, it was.

Example: (How I posted) Hi, how are you?
(How it really went) Hi, how

Is it just me?

I don't know if this is old or not, but it isn't just you. I suppose that this happens because messages cannot achieve over 140 words. If it's over that number, then the words exceeding would be cut off.

Although, if it's over 140 words it won't let you post it, so basically, if you use the correcting service, it would appear as unaltered and would let you post it, but it would cut off the characters exceeding the word limit.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense since I really don't know how to explain it..

@firedawn it actually does, because I was thinking the same. Example: I write a message, it passes the 140 characters number, then I delete some words, but the last part of the message won't appear, even if now your characters are below 140, because they were already "removed" by the system or something. The problem is that we still see them as they're ok, and only later see that it wasn't what we wanted to say. I saw this happening to other people too.
