I am very clumsy and therefore make many typos in the process of typing one basic sentence. However, since I actually care about the language I am using, as well as the sanity of those who will be reading my posts, I correct my errors. I probably type "leik" by accident nine times out of ten, but I make sure to correct it each time.

I probably made at least 30-35 typing errors in the process of this post, if not more. No, definitely more.

I'm pretty sure leik (is that how they type it?) was developed from a typo, and simply developed into something "leet". (Yes, I know 1337 is the number one, but I think you get my point.) I've also seen it used in a sarcastic manner.
Probably similar with pwned and the like.
