Mangled English.
As a native English speaker I really enjoyed reading the mangled nonsense below, it made no sense, but the misplaced and misused words were amusing to read through.
I wonder if any non-native English speaker would get that at all or if it is just a jumble of words they know the meaning of but make no sense.
I have a putting (mini golf?) scorecard at home from somewhere Greek from when I was a kid, the nonsensically translated rules of play are still funny to me.
I am also aware I may have made up a new word or two at times on here, doing so and deliberately mispronouncing words is something that also amuses me to do. Deliberate spoonerisms are also lots of fun to me.
Is this a common thing? I get the feeling I do it more than most people I spend time with.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

To me it feels like spam. It's nonsense that includes hyperlinks.

It's not meant to be readable, particularly.
It's meant to cram as many keywords in as possible to get the link into search engines. Dunno if that still works, but I doubt it...

I don't know about common, but I certainly enjoy using language 'inappropriately' (and it's not because I work with a lot of people to whom English is a 2nd language, and I love to confuse them - honest!)
I know when I was shaking a tower this morning, it was roaring with pain outside, and I was listening to a bad salad on the radio. I left, to go to the flock of bats to visit Mum.
"Eye Ball!" I shouted as I left.
After the visit, I said "My bum" and bought some cop porn on the way home. When I arrived I saw the family had flung the hags out, which was nice.

A mate of mine's uncle is a comedian and I've seen him do Rindercella a couple of times.
It's very good when well delivered.

I just bought online one of those Lumia 930[^] which appeared in the online store this Friday.
My current Lumia 920 has quite a few scratches and, more annoyingly, the pictures it takes are starting to become blurry. which I suspect is due to scratches on the len.
(Accessorily it has also a spider web of cracks on the screen! I guess me testing it was fall proof on tiles was a bad idea!   )
Anyway I rather NOT use a case or such like, so I wonder if I regularly put my phone in a pocket on its own (with nothing else, such as NO coins or pen) should it last fine for years without any problem?
Or should I really buy one of those leather case if I want to take good picture with it for years?
Also, sometimes, I wipe the phone / len on my TShirt to remove possible condensation, is that a bad idea? it just remind me that at the swimming pool they say to NOT swipe the swimming google or the antifog layer will disappear!

A T shirt is probably not a good idea - but kitchen roll is worse, it's designed to be abrasive - particularly if you have been wearing it...
Phone lenses are tiny, so small scratches have a big effect. Get one of those cloths opticians give you with each pair of glasses and use that instead.
As to the case: depends on how careful you are as a person. I can get something new and keep it in good condition for years without any cases, while Herself can get something identical at the same time and wreck it in a couple of weeks.

Ho, the special cloth is a good idea! Thanks!

Or go to a photography shop and get Microfiber cloth and/or lens cleaning kit. I use Microfiber instead of T-shirt, most of the time I admit I do it some times and know the consequences but...
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Microfiber! that's the word!

You wear kitchen roll?

No!
It's bad for cleaning glass or plastic with though - it's designed to be abrasive and causes lots of fine scratches.
Think how sharp a piece of paper is - if you've ever got a paper cut you will know what I mean.

I'd go for the screen cover like what Dave says - I've had one on my iPhone from new & there's not a scratch (I change it about once every six months - importing from China they cost a few cents each)
As for the camera lens - I gave up. I don't know about your phone, but every other one I have seen has no way to protect the lens, and it's indented so it fills with dirt that is all but impossible to clean out.
I don't know why phones with 20Mpix and fancy-named lenses don't have a simple pop-off cover for the lens!

Damn this is the important bit that I want to cover!!
For the rest I am pretty sure cover is optional....

I got my Lumia 920 right when they came out (November 2012). I never used a protector or case and it does not have a single visual scratch or chip on the screen. I put it in my pocket all the time, but I am careful about not having keys or change in the pocket with it. I also use my T-shirt to clean it with once in a while.
