Jim,
I see "sandblasting" in your original note on this thread and I had no trouble using the word in another thread a few minutes ago.
Once I post this, we'll see if it's use in the preceeding paragraph posts o.k., but I expect it will.
Later,

I may have figured out your problem.
The word you are using shows up in blue, this is done to link it to information about the word.
If you can't see the blue letters, it will appear as a blank space.
Such as the word exhaust, the gasses that leave the engine.
If that is the case you need to adjust your monitor.
If not I just spent several minutes blowing smoke

Jim and Dick, let me take a little different shot at this. Ken, correct me if I'm wrong on how you have the server and language filters set up.
The FTE servers scan posted information for key words or phrases such a sand blasting or sandblasting. When they find a key word or phrase, the server is supposed to display the word or phrase in a highlighted form (usually blue) to indicate that you can click on it to go to a related web site. The intent is to leave the text in a readable form while providing you with convenient links to pages selected by the FTE administrators.
For example, if you use the word flathead, it appears in blue so the sentence is still readable. If you click on the blue word flathead, you will be taken to MotorHaven, the parts store that helps support the FTE forums. MotorHaven has a large selection of flathead parts that you might be interested in.
Sometimes, the process goes awry and the text or the link gets messed up. If you notice a consistent error, it probably would be a good idea to send off a short e-mail to the administrators so they can fix it.
