	Leet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leetspeak is a form of written slang or street talk for the information highway.
		Leetspeak can also be used to disguise text within the object code of a program because it looks very much like binary data when viewed in a text editor.
		Leetspeak can be said to be an expression of some general laws of sociology as it applies to small tribes or cliques which strive to maintain a sense of elitist cultural identity and uniqueness in the midst of the 'ignorant masses' by inventing linguistic and fashion styles.

	Leet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leetspeak was first used by hackers (usually teenaged, and termed r0dents at the time) on Bulletin Board Systems, and then later adopted by users of Online Multiplayer Games and other Internet communities.
		Simple forms of Leetspeak have become rather mainstream, as employees use the alternative spellings to circumvent their companies' mail filters designed to censor coarse language and other objectionable content.
		Some people think that Leetspeak or hakspek that shortens text may have been developed to decrease bandwidth usage before the bandwidth explosion of the 1990s, but this is most likely not the case, as such methods would have had extremely minimal effect on actual bandwidth usage.

		Popular usage of Leetspeak is different from most dialects in that much of its life comes from satire of the broken, unsystematic way in which 13-year-olds post to internet forums.
		Leetspeak, as it exists in the non-13-year-old linguo-sphere, does however have a fairly regulated grammar.
		The world of leetspeak is one where "the" becomes "teh", "own" becomes "pwn", "you" becomes "j00", and extraneous exclamation marks metamorphose into "111" or even better "oneoneelven".

		A topic that has always interested me is leetspeak, a variation on written English that replaces some or all of the letters in a word with numbers and symbols that are vaguely similar in appearance.
		Leetspeak is often associated with the gaming and hacking community and has had an interesting and varied history, which includes many issues that may be discussed in a research project.
		For example, it is interesting that leetspeak evolved from practical considerations and into a cultural phenomenon that unified certain individuals into a community almost as much as their mutual interests.

	Leet
		Leet (often Eleet, leetspeak, leetspeek, l33t, 31337, or 1337; from "Elite") is a cipher, or novel form of English spelling.
		It is characterized by the use of non-alphabet characters to stand for letters bearing a superficial resemblance, and by a number of quasi-standard spelling changes such as the substitution of "z" for final "s" and "x" for "(c)ks".
		Leet writing, or leetspeak may have developed to defeat keyword scanning used by BBS sysops for message boards to discourage the discussion of questionable or forbidden topics (such as pornography, pirated software, or cracking).

		Notice that the word "Elite" appears in Leetspeak across the top, and the sections of the crest form the word "leet", which is short for Elitian.
		Leetspeak is intended to mix with normal Latin characters, and there are more than one leet alphabet.
		Leetspeak can actually be adapted to different languages, and if needed new symbols or numbers can be adapted if the particular language has special letters.

	GameBanshee Forums - More on Spelling and Grammar
		With further regard to leetspeak, I've seen one or two posts in my casual browsing of this forum that seem to suggest that it is simply not allowed, and as one of these posts was entered by a moderator, it would appear as though this is some kind of official rule.
		However, I can only assume that the prohibition of leetspeak is a matter of ensuring an increased clarity of posts entered, so readers don't have to struggle to understand what has been typed.
		Leetspeak is practically a different language understood by a fairly small percentage of forum members (at least here, I can't say for other forums).

		Irony is now the major use of leetspeak on the Internet as an injoke between computer geeks, as genuine usage has steadily declined.
		The webcomic MegaTokyo has caused a popularization of leet through the character Largo, who is fluent in leet, and the use of leet on some of the characters' clothing.
		Leetspeak is however, extremely common in gamer groups in high schools.

		All of the newbspeak and leetspeak words will be completely put into the Roman alphabet, more specifically, the English alphabet.
		There are two different branches of the internet 'languages.' Newbspeak, which is sometimes called AOL-speak, and Leetspeak, which is supposedly the more 'elite' of the two (from which the name springs, if you couldn't figure it out..).
		Leetspeak sometimes tends to be more alphanumeric, while AOL-speak seems in large part just to be mis-spellings with randomly capitolized letters and abbreviated phrases.

		LeetSpeak is a combination of elite and speak and is best described as a written form of slang.
		In its simplest form, leetspeak is the efficient reduction of certain words to a single letter.
		LeetSpeak creates a group identity and makes communication unintelligible to those on the outside or “newbies” (n00bs).

		It is sometimes argued that leetspeak exists to shorten text and use fewer keystrokes.

	What is Leetspeak?
		L33T is leet or leetspeak, an Internet variant of English that arose way back in the days of old school hackers and BBSes ("Leet Speak").
		Since then leetspeak has taken on many cultural roles, and has gradually transitioned from being truly "elite" to being merely mainstream.
		By the time that we are done, you will be able to see why leetspeak lost its original role, how subcultures forge and maintain identity, and how the transition from subculture to mainstream can destroy context and meaning.

		Many times on the internet, you'll encounter rambling idiots who, unable to form coherent sentences using any actual language, have created a language of their own.
		This is due to the mind numbing over use of the word "leet" in its various forms when speaking this retarded language.
		While leetspeak primarily uses the English alphabet, some letters and symbols will often times be replaced with different things.

	manyhighways.com: Early Leetspeak?
		Today my dad was flipping through one of his favorite Christmas presents of the year, volume one of the hardcover reprint of the "Magnus, Robot Fighter" comic books by Russ Manning.
		He noticed that one of the evil robots in the first issue (February, 1963) is named "H8" which is leetspeak (or at least IMspeak) for "hate" and could, for all I know, be one of the first appearances of a such a word.
		In case any of the kids back in 1963 reading the comic didn't get it, the robot actually explains the meaning of the letter and number printed on his chest in the frame pictured here.
