Regular Expression(s)?

Hey, well done everyone. I hope this was a fun exercise. I had a feeling clue5 ("this term is a common expression used by programmers on a regular basis") might give it away, and indeed, correct answers have quickly followed!
Both Tkauran and scannon got it, but I'll have to give the award to Tkauran. Well done to both of you!
I think this is worth doing again. Do others agree? It was fun to run a number of common web terms back and forth through the translator until they were basically unrecognizable.
I honestly thought it was a fun and interesting way to have a competition, it really made me think when I saw the clues.
You were right though, hint #5 was a dead giveaway hahaha.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for participating.Originally Posted by Tkauran
100% Agreed! This was a lot of fun!
Before asking, do a search... if you don't find the answer, then ask

Where is our extra clue??Not at all. You'll find it all over these forums.
I'll post another clue today—something much more revealing. The guesses so far have been great ... but I'll admit that no one has got it yet.
The competition is closed now. I seeded the clues through this thread, but also listed them gradually in my first post.Where is our extra clue??
Hey everyone, if you'd like another go at this, we have a new Lost in Translation competition here:
