Nice copy paste trick

Try this. Open up MS word or notepad or any text editor.

Then go to any of several websites. For this trick we'll use http://www.wired.com/

You'll see a list of articles. Open one.

Now pick a paragraph and select one or two words anywhere in the paragraph and copy paste it to your text editor. Nothing unexpected happened. Ok select a longer block of text. Go from 6 to 7 to 8 or more words. Copy paste it. What do you see?
