separate words with different links are joined together when previewed Answered

I am creating an instructable and have the following

"but there are similar  things " where the words similar and things are two different links.

In the preview the two words are joined together "similarthings" and nothing I can seem to do ...short of removing a link... will prevent this.

Any suggestions?

Add to this...I can't attach images to this message.  The new uploader doesn't open anything, the old uploader uploads, but no image.
