It's important to remember that the leetspeek community encourages new forms and awards individual creativity, resulting in a dynamic written language that eludes conformity or consistency.

That's so funny. These days, you can spot someone who is in no way "l33t" by the leetspeak. It has no more meaning. If they knew how and why it started, the purpose it once served, (and it DID serve a purpose) they might be properly ashamed of themselves for pretending, but that would take too much effort.

Ha! Just saw your pet peeves thread. :)

It's more fun for parodical purposes... for me, anyway. I like being able to speak both -- polygl0ts iz k3wl. :)

it's important to remember that the leetspeek community encourages new forms and awards individual creativity, resulting in a dynamic written language that eludes conformity or consistency. However, there are a few standard terms. The following is a sample of key words that haven't changed fundamentally (although variations occur) since the invention of leetspeek.

lawl!

Haha, that's hilarious. Some of my favorite reads are those that frame "street" language ("cyberstreet" in this case, haha) in a formal light. :)

lol.. this sentence cracks me up particularly:

Yeah, reward someone for poor spelling! With grammar gone [done?] as backwards as as outhouse falling a hill in the middle of the night, it's a wonder anyone can communicate at all.

Right on! ;)

Holy crap. I think my IQ just fell.

Yes, and it starts with Tee, and backwards it's "eet", add an "L" it's leetspeak.

(pay no attention that Hiro has minor obscure showtunes lyrics knowledge)

lol, something I always wonder... the parents who need to know this, are they standing behind their kids while the kids are on the puter? or do most 40+ year olds actually have good enough eyesite to look over their paper across the room. If they are actually present and watching what kid is going to do anything interesting? If they actually know how to hack or monitor their kids conversations electronically, they actually don't already know all this and better than that article?
