    I suspect this is done by a robo-author. Several publishing houses trialling this sort of thing at the moment.

    The case that robots can't replace actual writers and reporters is now made!

    That website is quite telling, the way it is sold as 'no more plagiarism'. Lazy journalist finds on-line report, chucks into 'Extreme Word Spinner', submits as own, editor doesn't give a monkeys? Shameful.

    But fun to catch 'em out!

    Brilliant! Totally summed up the day for me. As I tackled the very initial pile I had no great glimmering that less than one third would end. Mind you, come planting season, I expect we will all do it again along with our pet Jez. :thumbup:

    Probably just a matter of getting any race report (in English) use Google to translate it to French. The use Google again to translate it back to English again and I would image you would end up with something similar.
