"Txt tlk" is Chatspeak/Netspeak/&c.
basicly its typing lyk dis ok?
1337 is much less useful; it is characterized by replacing letters with numbers, adding -x0r to verbs, &c.
Example: d00d u ph|_||<|<1n9 5|_|x02!@!@!

1337, or "l33t", is kinda funny sometimes, but annoying when the people who use it are being SERIOUS.
"1337", or "l33t" (which is the term I prefer to use) came from the word "elite". Which is kind of ironic, given that the "language" is primarily used by idiots with delusions of coolness.
If you want examples of what "l33t" looks like, to to Google, go into Language Tools, and click "Hacker". You'll learn two things from this:
1) "l33t" is hard to read, and should only really be used for comedy purposes.
2) Google staff have waaaaay too much time on their hands.
"Txt tlk" is speaking in acronyms, and usually missing out vowels. People who use this either use it for convenience, or because they're too stupid to spell common words. (Surprisingly, some of those people still manage to pass GCSE English.)

Maz` Honestly, how do younot know what those are. >.>;; None of us were born knowing what TXT TLK and 1337 5p34k were. Of course, the answer was probably only a Google away, but still...

But what REALLY proves my point about them having too much free time is the fact that it's also in KLINGON. You kinda find these things out when you're bored in college razz
