Just a suggestion...

When you 'like' a post, it says: "you have just liked for the post"
Should this not be: "you have just 'liked' the post"

It's short hand for

You have just liked this content, as a way of signifying this you have given a thumbs up for the post.

Do you need to re-read the 2 lines I put in quotation marks, to see the difference?

No, if you read Donald's post, he's added a bit in the middle to make the first line make sense

Ok, but as a stand alone sentence (which is what is seen), it isn't right?

I imagine there may be a broken bit of code that should insert a username or something as opposed to a grammar mistake

Hang on. I always thought of it as "You have just liked this person for the post" No?

Well I have always taken it as liking what was posted

Now that would make sense?! Well done Doggo, you may have hit the nail on the head!

Iain's still right, whatever it was supposed to have meant.

Meanwhile, how do we switch off the US spell checker?
