Is bold broken?

zj test test zj

The above line I type as zj test test zj and it comes out like this!?

My bold has been a bit hit and miss.
It didn't work a couple of times and when I checked when the post came up and I had appeared to do everything right. Last time I tried it was ok

just having another go

Yep it's fine again!!

Don't think you can bold 2 separate words in a sentence.

e.g.

hello ab how are you?

works

hello ab how are you ab?

doesn't

It's the same with italics too. Now that they've made it so that you can italicise/bold a whole sentence, you can't do individual words in that sentence. You also can't italicise next to punctuation, not sure about bold as I never use it.

It really annoys me that you can't do this to a sentence and guarantee that it will actually just do the words you want and not every other word inbetween.

See, that works. I'm sure there's some rule about what does and doesn't according to some code or other or something equally computery.

I think it won't bold individual words of one or two letters if theres more than one in a sentence.
So
I want a lollipop please
I want an ice cream please
I want two biscuits please

I's like a lollipop, an ice cream, two biscuits and a crumpet with chocolate spread on
