Leet speak is only cool if:

A. You're using it to confuse the hell out of people who rarely use a computer for anything but long distance communication or offline tasks.

B. You're my hardcore computer nut uncle, who was one of the original "H4xx0rs" from the 80s BBS scene.

C. You're using it to poke gentle fun at those who still think its cool to constantly use it in their everyday lives.

D. You're Largo.

I agree - leet speak is crap and everytime you do it, a kitten is murdered (saw that in some other joke thing and thought it fit the bill)...

hehe I remember some guy (his name was sk8erXpro or something) saying "i liek to lisn to teh avral lavinge cuz hse gets me pumped n redy for teh day"

Seriously, leetspeak is easy to read for those introduced to it, and it makes you look even stupider than when you type like Kommie did there above.
 
"LOL, ROFL and Lmao" Are the only acceptable ones, I am personally willing to hunt down and castrate anyone who uses anything beyond that.

As many have said, "leet" is retarded, hell, if you want to show how retarded you are, why not twang yourself with conkers or jump infront of a high speed object and videotape it.

The worst case of "leet" is when a simple four letter word such as 'well' gets cut down to three making it 'wel', same goes for 'Wht' 'Y' 'nd' 'jst' and 'col'

"Leet" makes me want to kill, its retarded and immature, not to mention just damn lazy. Whoever thought it would be a great Idea to talk like an idiot should be hunted down and have his/her teeth removed as punishment.

Well its hilarious, use it as much as you want so we can laugh :D

哈哈哈哈! :LOL:

Yeah, it is more challenging, and infinitely more useful. I'm not chinese by the way, but I am learning.
 
The thing about "leet" speak is regardless how nice the person using it may be, when I see a person using it I just instantly label them - TWAT :p
 
Another good challenge for you. Speak in Binary code. And you'll actually get sometime out of it, unlike elite speak (elitist punks)
 
Writing a sentence in binary is like 5 pages of 0's and 1's :p

L337 has two uses.

Confusing the general public and cheating in tests.

Precisely. |337 speak is an abomination of... Well, of EVERYTHING. Abbrieviations are fine (to an extent), txt msg spk is tolerable (some of the time, but only really because some of my friends use it so I'm somewhat desensitised).

1337 SPEAK IS THE DEVIL​
 
The Silhouette said:
Wait...so you believe us, to believe your NOT 12 years old, but yet you tell us its a "challenge" to read "1337 speak"?...

and you believe me, to believe your NOT stupid.

what the hell kind of sentence is that. What I think you meant there is "So, you except us to believe you're NOT 12 years old."
Well you can believe what you want. I am 16 years old and very smart. I believe I already posted on that. And it is a challenge, I don't care what you say. It takes more skill to read it than it does to write it. And also it is cool to have messages that normal people do not understand.

And what exactly is that. There is absolutely no one that can understand binary except Hazar, and there is no reason learn. You never need to know that binary code of the letter 'A' is 1000001. Not even in programming cause you can easily get the decimal equivlent by using 'A' and if you, for whatever reason wanted the binary number, there is a quick coversion method that takes nearly no time.

I was being ironic (and I don't have a very big vocabulary of chinese so I had to resort to insults). It's the same arguement you used, it's cool to use chinese because it's challenging, and not many "normal" people use it (not many non-chinese, anyway).

And it would be infinitely more useful than leet speak.

Don't waste your time on leet speak, take a language course in something, or learn a programming language.

I see, thats okay then

Tú no eres el solo qué hablas en otros linguas. Pero español es mejor porque muchas personas en Los Estados Unidos que hablan español.

But I do know programming languages, in fact I have written a great deal of programs, some games, some actually useful programs (like a media player)
 
problem with leet speak is annoying little dick slaps with hormonal troubles have taken on a shine with it and use it to try and insult respectable people in respectable jobs on respectable forums and it is the cancer of the internet. plus if you use that sort of speak and your not taking the piss with it ironically then you are automatically handicapped in the peni plural of the word penis area and you need to get working those thigh muscles boys
 
Aye, good stuff. I learnt C programming on my university course, and MATLAB, and LabVIEW.

I only made one game, and that was part of an assignment. Made a noughts and crosses game with some basic "AI" routines.
