You're always confused. Don't... er... confuse the matter.

I think that these people are either insane or so pompous that they may actually write like this. Insane.

lol, sounds like secret mason code. Pretty cool research you're doing. With the new discoveries of metal principals and forging I'm not surprised if they come up with nothing short of diamond-tough metals these days.

I've never heard of bainite before, do you know how it compares to damascus? I have an old damascus tachi, a pretty sweet museum piece. Never bothered to get it restored because I like the way it looks. I showed it to my sensei and he was pretty impressed. He said the patterns on it looks like it was sharpened with acid instead of stones. I have no doubts in my mind that that particular sword was used in battle and have killed people.

My first thought is that it sounds like a bad Babelfish translation from another language. For example, I tried "translating" a simple sentence from English to Russian and back into English, and it fell apart:

The sword cuts hard stone easily.
Камень отрезоков шпаги трудный легко.
The stone of [otrezokov] of sword difficult it is easy.

I don't think people would actually do that for a sword blog, but that was what your snippets reminded me of. But this stuff seems even more random and bizarre... What the hell is a "xanthous"? Alterumunevenness en route to palliate sounds like someone's attempt at Latin gone horribly horribly wrong...
