Resorting to insults in a linguistics battle, the lack of a depth and breath of understanding that allows the ability for expression with nout but negativity, easily understandable why the small victory had was not maintained by the predecessor .

pfft... your "battle of linguistics" has been thwarted by a spelling error...

I believe the word you were looking for was "naught"...or, you might have gone with the alternate spelling, "nought" which is just as suitable, although the first spelling is more common and more widely used. I would call your attempt to spell it "nout" a vain attempt to use words that are far too complex for your simple vocabulary. How to you plan to win this conflict if you are unarmed and wear rusty armor.

Your insignificant little vocabulary is nothing before mine, and you are nothing before me. The best part is that you can't even dig yourself out of this hole, mostly because you already dug yourself in and smothered yourself with quick drying cement.

I said battle of linguistics not battle of spelling for one of them I would surely lose, evidently the difference between the two is something that is little known you, an attempt to make a case based one thing that actually would fall under the status of insignificant when taken in correct context, interesting...

It is also sorrowingly becomingly evidently clear that every attempt made at a retort or riposte requires deformation of character of your opponent, now this point amuses me because i would then wonder at the capability, clarity and quality of any response made if one was to try do so without such deformation or if such a collection of sounds could never be uttered forth for fear of not knowing the outcome, first we must try then we shall know.

'Nout' is not a spelling error : it is a recognised variation. Uncommon, perhaps, but found in folk songs and other sources.

Danik:
comments from the peanut gallery are not welcome at this time, and will henceforth be ignored.

shaydo:
The literal definition of linguistics is:"the science of language, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and historical linguistics." The word syntax has four definitions in the category of linguistics, the first of which is:"the study of the rules for the formation of grammatical sentences in a language." since grammar includes punctuation and spelling, spelling is a part of linguistics. Since the word nout is not in any dictionary or encyclopedia, I am forced to conclude that it is not a word and thus, must be a misspelling of the word naught(or it's approved variant, nought).

By this statement, you have made it completely clear that you don't even know what linguistics is, so how do you feel qualified to argue it?
Also:

1."Sorrowingly" is an adverb, as are the words "becomingly" and "evidently". The word clear in this context is an adjective. You have three adverbs followed by an adjective, with no verb anywhere in between. That makes this part of this sentence grammatically incorrect.
2. Due to the structure of this sentence, there should be a period after the word opponent, which would make the 'n' of the word 'now' that follows it capitalized, and then there should be a comma after the word 'now'.
3. Since one's character is formed through one's own experiences and is not physical object, it cannot be 'deformed'. It can be 'defamed', but not deformed.
4. The "i" that represents you in this sentence should be capitalized.
5. There should be a comma after the word clarity.
6. I am pretty sure that I have aptly responded to this without any defamation of the character of my opponent, only the destruction of the entire argument. I did it without knowing what the outcome would be.

Some friendly advice: go back to first grade English classes. Your words in this poor attempt at a battle of linguistics have dug you into a hole that you cannot possibly get out of without the defamation of my character... but if you were to do that, that would make you a hypocrite.

Denial is the first refuge of the fool.

The simplest Google search would show references to the word 'nout' in Websters Dictionary, Collins Dictionary and, just for larks, whilst not recognised by the US Scrabble Dictionary, it is by the UK one (worth 4 pts, no less). It does ruin your preamble a bit when you make a claim as to deny the words existence in any dictionary.

And you can ignore whatever you wish to ignore, no doubt it makes less impact upon your self-esteem issues that way.

All together now : 'Romani Eunt Domus!', then run away very fast before John Cleese shows up to correct the subjunctive clauses...

Random words in latin, eh? very well then:

Qui non sciunt aliquid loqui

upon reviewing your sources, I concede that it is a word...And I am forced to thank you for directing me to a new source of language information
