If I understand what you are trying to say it sounds like the JACKET and the CORE need equalising. Cut the heat sealed end of the rope then run a loaded prussic down the length of the rope (couple of times if needed)

 

This is called MILKING the rope, it will allow the jacket to slide relative to the core, you should find the jacket ends a bit longer than the core. Re seal the rope end and all is good.

Ha ha, sense of humor transplant needed

 

Its was clearly an auto correct thing.

 

I do apologise to your sensibilities and will think twice in future before offering help in future
