This happens to me with longer words such as "impossible" and
"communicate" (not necessarily those particular words, just as an
example).

It also happens consistently when I'm stretching the memory of my
Newton to the limit, like having 2 or 3 apps open simultaneously.

Try writing slower on really long words. In fact break them up like
"im" "poss" "ible" and "comm" "unic" "ate", you can remove the spaces
later with the "V" editing gesture.

Try freeing up precious memory by freezing apps and running fewer apps
simultaneously.

Happy Tapping!
