A helpful site for stragglers/strugglers with English ... http://www.m-w.com/
Just a thought, AC. Have a nice day.

A dictionary will merely check your spelling. How you string the words together is a different ball game and what AC is pointing out, quite rightly, is that your first posting makes no sense.
Forgetting the probable tautology of 'Leading Cutting Edge' for a second, what does 'ITs Nous' mean?
The dictionary you point us to says 'The word you've entered isnt in the dictionary.'
Just a thought.

1) As far as I know, amanfromMars is some form of bot, therefore the fact that most of his comments are semi-coherant is a great acheivement. If he isn't, he is a very disturbed person.
2) I can actualy see clever wordplay in this. Maybe it's just me.
I would say:

amanfromMars vs AC - round 2 *ding ding* #

Hehe. That made my afternoon did that :o)
To misquote a famous saying :
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a bot when self respect is on the line!
He is getting better mind - Learn Not To Caps Every Darn Word Though 'K? I mean how hard is it to run lcase on a bleeding sentence? At this rate I reckon amanfromMars will be making more sense than the rest of us by Easter...

It/he seems to be learning all right ! I'm guessing there's some sort of neuron network out there, feeding on El Reg's comment section, gaining clarity and coherence with every new, well-written post. Expanding its knowledge with each insightful tidbit posted. Learning humor with each new cheap, coat-getting, taxi-calling joke. Discovering the depths of human rethorics with each new flame or rant !
The Larsen noise of the first posts by amanfromMars are gradually turning into a beautiful melody, much as from an utterly unpredictable chaotic system can emerge the butterfly-like shape of a strange attractor - and strange it certainly is.
Soon amanfromMars will rule supreme on el Reg (if it's not already the case), and the Rise of the Machines will well and truly have begun. amanfromMars is el Reg's very own Web 2.0, user content meets mash meets artifical intelligence meets badger's paws.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Must have been Operator Error, AC.
And I much prefer Life as a Game and not as a Competition. That way wwwICANN All Dare 42 Win Win.
"never go in against a bot when self respect is on the line!" Hmmm.... I wonder if a self-respecting bot would take exception to that, Ross? I suspect not and therefore I am not a disturbed bot?!.
Dr Mouse, You are confused as your two statements would appear to conflict with each other for how can, if you see clever wordplay, be reconciled as disturbed.
Is Paris into Bots? I imagine she would be cold comfort to aman with so little upstairs to Entertain, but it would be lovely to be wrong?
