Getting teh leet 0ut

[Wolverabid]

"Leet Speak" is a common Internet language that has developed over the last few years. It continues to evolve: leet speak possesses its own unique character and has life of its own. Since I don't speak (much) leet I thought that I should do some research. According to Wikipedia:

Leet or Leetspeak (often written in Leet as 1337 or 13375p34k) is a writing system used primarily on the Internet, particularly on IRC but nowadays also in most online video games. The term itself is a leet form of the word elite, and generally has the same meaning when referring to the hacking or the gaming skills of another person.

Leet began as a form of writing made to bypass word filters. It is also used to mock newbies, or n00bs, on web sites, or in gaming communities, etc.
Leet involves the modification of written text, both by substitution of some letters, numbers, and other characters for the usual ones, and by use of characteristic variations in grammar, spelling and idiom. These perturbations are chosen, and interpreted, through visual resemblances, abstract connections (usually involving knowledge about computers), or known conventions. Leet spellings are generally not fixed, and users often take pride in developing new ones whose interpretation requires cleverness or appropriate background knowledge.

Leet has its own colloquialisms, many of which originated as jokes based on common typing errors, habits of new computer users, or knowledge of Internet culture and history. One such colloqialism is "Pie", which can be a substitute for any word or simply said in IRCs for randomness.
Leet is not solely based upon one language or character set. Greek, Russian, Chinese, and other languages have Leet forms, and leet in one language may use characters from another where they are available. As such, while it may be referred to as a "cipher", a "dialect", or a "language", Leet does not fit squarely into any of these categories. This article primarily concerns the English language variant of Leet.

For example, the term leet itself is often written l33t, or 1337, and many other variations. After the meaning of these became widely familiar, 10100111001 came to be used in its place, because it is the binary form of 1337, making it more of a puzzle to interpret. Source

Wiki also provides an excellent leet character exchange chart:

How about that?

 

[brad.dude03]

I don't often use l33t, except for phrases like wtfpwn and such... if you catch me using l33t it's probably mockingly, for example:

"zZOMG!!1! I R TEH WTFHAXXZZXXZ!!!!1!11!1!!11!!1!1ELEVENTYHUnDRED"

And so on.

 

[Sephiyr]

"zZOMG!!1! I R TEH WTFHAXXZZXXZ!!!!1!11!1!!11!!1!1ELEVENTYHUnDRED"
Haha nice one Brad .

The only time I use leet is when I'm being sarcastic, or doing impressions of things such as:

''LOLZ!!! L00K AT MEZ! I GOT MUSCLES AND TH3Y G0T HAIR ON THEM!1one''
or
''LOL EDIT BUTT0N, USE IT PLX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111oneoneonetwotwotwo''

[camel's_hump]

[Teh_Ephy]

eh i use 13375p34k because my friends don't, or when i'm being silly/sarcastic
like sometimes in real life i actually say "Z-O-M-G" or "zoh-M-G", sometimes "zoh my god"
like sarcasm definitely calls for "!!!111!!11!1EXCLAMATIONMARKONE!1"

[brad.dude03]

Actually, the first thing I did when I looked at it was like: this is binary. And the second thing I was going to do was to convert it.... looks like Nem beat me to it
