"1337 SPEAK"

You can't understand a thing they're saying. Some examples (and no, I did not come up with these myself; I asked my friend to. XD)

Can anyone tell what they are saying?

"Hi, I'm David."
"I'm the leet 'haxor.'" ("Haxor" meaning "hacker.")

-edit-
Upon further review, I've come to realize the first one is "Hi, I'm pimp."
At first glance, it looked like "David."

Not all 1337 looks like that. Unless T3H is considered txt tlk.
I don't speak leet, but I understand that there are alot of ways to portray the letters.

Technically, no one "speaks" leet. It's a WRITTEN (typed in most cases) code.

The biggest problem with 1337 on Gaia is the backslash gets deleted from posts for some reason, making it unintelligible. Of course, even if it didn't, 1337 is still impractical since it takes more time to substitute numbers and symbols for the letters.

Backslashes get deleted? I've never noticed.
\/////////

-edit-
Some of them did. I had 9 of each, and 5 backslashes disappeared.
-edit-
GUH! More disappear each time!

"Hi, I'm David."
"I'm the leet 'haxor.'" ("Haxor" meaning "hacker.")

How....?

~Champagne for my real friends...


"Hi, I'm David."
As Intuicide already said.

I couldn't get the second one, though.

...Real pain for my sham friends.~

Leet is very fun to speak though.
PostPosted: Sun Feb 04, 2007 8:17 pm


Heh, those are pretty good, except I(i) is usually substituted with an exclamation(!) as opposed to a "|", so I was like "Huh? Why can't I read this?" but yeah...

It's actually really easy. I may be ashamed to say it, but I can type leet fluently.
