Idiots Guide to 1337 5p3@|<

Hi:)

McFar54 should have posted by now........his post should be good:)He has been telling me about it but i can't slip any secrets:)Well....i hope its good.

Well:) Here it is -- My Beginners(yes i changes the name) Guide to 1337 5p3@<(Leet Speak) Well first, Leet Speak, an abbreviation of Elite speak(which is funny since Elite is not spelt Eleet), was originally developed by, those lovely people, Hackers:) You see...eventually forum sites got sick of Hackers discussing tactics and methods on their boards so there was a big crackdown. SO the Forum Moderators searched hacking topics ect....So the hackers needed some way to still discuss their stuff and get around this search. Hence 1337 5p3@k. So these hackers got symbols that looked like the letters and used those instead:) Here is the basic 1337 alphabet: :EDIT-the new formating got rid of this and cbf to type it out again!!! go to the link instead!! here is the full alphabet!!.

You may be thinking 'Well that's very simple'. Well...you are wrong. You see it is not just that. Also certain world are changed, like you might change a word when writing in net speak for example joo instead of you. There is also replacing numbers in the place of letters(this is commonly used it net speak as well tho so...) like Great goes to Gr8.

Now i could write a whole dictionary filled with 1337 words(and i am sure someone has) but i cant be bothered...:)
