    Ahm, awkward to explain, but it's something called "l33t-sp33k" (leet speek, elite speak heh)

    It was used by "elite" hackers "h4x0rs", mainly as a joke. It's only used now for fun, or people who like the look of it... or something. *shrug*

    But like most crazes,fads and gimmicks...It soon dies down and people get bored and sick of it. Now, people get slack for using them which is okay..cause it should never have been done in the first place. 0 tongue.gif

    Cos u get tired of typing the same old words.
    To ease the boredom ppl started interchanging letters with numbers and the rest is... the rest.

    You would rather have a Lexus, some justice, a dream or some substance?
    A Beamer, a necklace or freedom?
