Before we start, a small video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6idE2espIQ

This video reminded me of the old days spent on Uncyclopedia. Kitten huffing, Oscar Wilde's inane bullshit quotes and more variations of Jesus and Hitler than there are Pokemon - none of that matters right now. However, this video made me remember one of my biggest failures in life, and that was giving up on AAAAAAAA language. To prevent others from making that mistake and motivate them to study more, I have made this simple puzzle that will test your linguistic skills.

The prize is very humble - it's just Fortix. I didn't submit this for DeltaBladeX's event, because I didn't want it to end so quick. You may need some tools to help you, but if you know what you're doing, it's possible to do it by hand.

NO LEAKING

Hint 2: AAAAAAAAAAA language shares some similarities with East-Asian languages. One of them is that spaces are optional for the most part. Until the AAAAAAAAA language reform of 1998 there were absolutely no spaces used at all, which was unwieldy even for native speakers. Anyway, the point is - ignore the spaces. While we're at it, ignore the punctuation too.

Hint 3: I guess I should have chosen better moment for this puzzle. Or maybe shouldn't have told what game it is. Anyway, I counted for a bit more reaction from the forum-goers. Maybe not a huge pile of letters from them, but still... (by the way, count the letters)

I bet there are no responses because everyone keeps replaying that video over and over.

I don't know why I counted the amounts of As earlier but didn't think to sum up them.
