Usually Hacker News strips out "How" (and "Why") at the start of article titles to prevent this. I'm not sure why there are exceptions sometimes.

- exolymph 4y agoYou can edit it back in after submission.
- bookofjoe 4y agoYes, true. I've noticed, though, that more often than not HN's deletion of "How"/"Why" makes the title better when it comes to my submissions. I'd estimate 95% of the time I let the HN-auto-edited version stand.
- johnny_reilly 4y agoOh I didn't realise it did that! I assumed I'd copied and pasted incorrectly when I submitted it and added the "How" back after the fact.
