This site seems to take English web articles and translate them into bad English?

All the articles are winners, but here is the source of thread title.

This site seems to be a very valuable tool. A quick browse through any article of interest will provide you with an advance experience of dementia. Sure the words are English but what the hell do they mean?

Rugby – 4 rugby movies you should watch now is, in fact, about the Bulls documentary series The Last Dance.

Yuggoth is that you?

I had to google up an earlier discovery (turned out to be in 2016) of sites like this that apparently do multiple translations to obscure plagiarism. One of the mangled articles I traced to the source was from Wired. (Unfortunately the publishing site for the mangled copy is gone, and archive.org didn’t cache it.) One that is still around, is articles about tellurian hankies. A little study of context gives some logic to “tissue” being translated as “hankies”, but I don’t know how “human” ended up as “tellurian”. Google for tellurian hankies, though, and you’ll get several hits (including places that I mentioned it.)

Tellurian means “of or pertaining to the Earth”. Related to “Terrestrial” or “Terran”.

So we know there is a defective TARDIS translation matrix involved…

As I mentioned in the GQ thread in which an article from this site, was first posted, this article still retains a fragment of what appears to be Gujarati script (சோலைல்). So someone translated an article from English (or some other language) through Gujarati and back to English. No wonder the syntax is bizarre.

The use of “crore” is also an indication that it was written in an Indian language at some point before it was poorly translated.

Thanks for pointing that out. A crore is 10 million. So 1000 crore would be 10 billion, which is the age for the most ancient rocky planets mentioned in the article, and so checks out. However, the article also says the planet is 1000 billion years old, or 100 times older, and much older than the universe itself.
