Okay so I got some weird things going on when I copied and pasted a block of a description.

This:
Gangly though toned, this elf has a cheerful disposition. About
him, is carried a rather exuberant air, infectious to those who
those around him. His face finely chiseled, like that of his
ancestors, though at first glance he lacks their inherent grace.
When pressed into formality or rigid structure, he flounders
about though able to keep up, barely. When relaxed time for
enjoyment comes, his grace appears, as if a spell is cast upon
him. Although it seems unlikely in attitude, the sporadic series
of stories marred into his flesh suggest he'd be is or was a
scrapper. A particularly prominent silvery vein protrudes from
the back of his left thigh. A single, pure white flame rests
above his right hip on his back.

Some comma's gave a space (Generally after a first word), and the last five lines also are mixed up in a strange way.

* Side note, hitting ctrl + r let it paste just fine.

When you enter multiline text into the command line, CMUD turns off the "smart command" option and assumes you are pasting a multiline script. So it's parsing the line as script text, which is probably causing these side effects. Not sure why the extra couple of lines got added though.

They didn't get added - they got moved.

I normally remember to hit ctrl + r for putting in blocks of text, I just figured I'd report it, mostly cause the lines bounced around on the last 5, and changed positions.
