*depressed* Poor English, it's slaughtered so thoroughly every day.

I can respect the people who, you know, actually were a part of the subculture, who use 1337. Or even younger people who do it well. It did have its purpose, just, people seem to forget that.....

[Kayte]

*nods* Yeah, I'm still partial to normal typing myself but...

[Megan (Fishy)]

Same, but if people are into that community (and the right time period people seem to forget that this isn't the 90s... oh wait, I might be guilty of that....) then it doesn't really bother me, in the appropriate time and place. But they have to at least do it well, and know the purpose....

[Kayte]

Yeah, I guess it's a sort of "there's a time and a place for that" kind of thing.

[Lamp Post]

Wow.

*both amused and saddened by this*

[Megan (Fishy)]

*same*

[Lamp Post]

*had to look for this*

A comment one of my friends had, while trying to figure out 1337:

£0£ £00|{ 47 m3, 1'm wr171n9 1n £337
*1$ 4 h4x0r*

She was kind of crazy with the pound sign. . . . .

XD

There's 1337, and then there's "uber-leet," which is terribly complicated and I haven't a clue how to read it. *can write in regular 1337, though*

[Lamp Post]

I've seen uber-leet. It takes me a good amount of reads to understand it.
1337 is hard enough, depending on who's writing it. Uber-leet is unnecessary.

[Megan (Fishy)]

*agrees* Uber-leet, I don't even try. 1337, I've pretty much gotten used to most forms of it....

[Lamp Post]

*hasn't*

That post above, it took me 3 reads to remember that a pound sign can be used for 'l'. There are so many renditions of 1337, I don't even bother learning them all. >.<'
