Learning l337

[BlackOpal12]

I'm quite bored right now, and went digging through some of my old journals, and found a gem.

I am all for the preservation of grammar and such, and was awarded by the NCTE for writing ability; however, sometimes it's still quite entertaining to write stupid things.

In this case, l337.

If you don't know what l337 is, its the computer-geek bastardization of the English language. Its one of the most agitating things you will ever see on the internet. Its also entertaining to play with.

The goal here is to write something that only the "elite" (l337) can read... substitute similar looking letters, numbers, symbols, and conglomerations thereof into normal language.

Pearls to whoever's messages I can't read (and who can show me how to crack them once I admit it).

EDIT: If this should be somewhere else in the forums, feel free to move it.

Wouldn't God Pwn Heaven??

Wouldn't God Pwn Heaven??

Pwn is a misnomer of 'own', yes, but when gamers use 'own' it is never in the dictionary-definition sense of 'this is my possession,' but rather, 'my l33t skillz dominate your n00bness.' Therefore, stating that God pwns Heaven gives me the impression that God is running through Heaven with a railgun (or awp) fragging every angel in some righteous deathmatch. :teeth:
