Don't forget the acronyms and initialisms!

omg - oh my God
brb - Be right back

And a friend of mine once said someone wrote wubu2 to him...He swore it meant 'what have you been up to?', but I find it hard to see how.
I'm a pretty good translator from text speak, if you need one.

I would talk to Chelle and get you some more but I can't be bothered with it.

Now, just for the record, 13375|D34|< is not chatspeak.

1337 is the language of gamers, not idiot n00bs. Idiot n00bs don't KNOW proper 1337. 1337 speakers use representations of letters to communicate IN FULL SENTENCE FORM with punctuation.

For example:

Normal person:

I wish you would come with me today.

1337:

! //!5|-| `/0|_| //0|_|1|) (0|/|3 //!7|-| |/|3 70|)4`/

n00b:

i wish u wuld c** wit me 2day.


1337=/= n00b.

Sorry. Coming from a gamer, I don't like to be compared with the n00bs.

Yeah, noobs wouldn't bother to learn 1337...I don't mind 1337. I think it looks...interesting. And it's not butchering the English language, it's just writing it in a different form. It's like me writing in dwarvish runes (yes, I can do that XP)...

1337 5|D34|< !5 ||07 (|-|47 5|D34|<.
Nor is it lazy. It takes longer. (I never bothered to learn it fully.)

Nor are Ns possible on Gaia...

Ay...reading all this n00b speech gives me a headache... stressed  
PostPosted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 6:43 pm
HOMG/ZOMG=variations of OMG

(Just thought I'd add something. I actually use chatspeak, like, on instant-messenger type stuff. And, I tried out the translator. Hillarious!)
