Then what is it about?

The scientific study of languages.

It may be (though I very much doubt it), but posting about it here is not. This is a message board, not a peer reviewed linguistics journal.

Why would you assume anyone here would know anything at all about this subject? Whatever it is.

He's probably assuming that we have the same level of expertise that he has, which is probably not far from the truth.

Not according to the linguist you showed it to.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't think it is fair to constantly bring her up. She presumably has Semmelweis Reflex, claiming mine is unscientific primarily because it contradicts her work. My informatics professor Franjo Jović, my mathematics professor Tomislav Rudec and my computer science professor Alfonso Baumgartner all think there is something to my work.

Look for a board that is for linguists and the discussion of language.

Have you ever read the title of this one?  If you have, what is it that confuses you about the main topic?
