It looks like crypted language, good to hide chats from parents But it takes 3x more time to read it, which is really bad
I own a gamers forum, and play video games all the time and to tell you the truth, I read it normally as if it were normal
Yeah, you have skills for it, I type shorten usually when I want to speak(type) very fast or when I have less time to tell(write) what I want Isnt it difficult to type in that 'l33t' style?
It's called LEET or L33T, short for elite. A lot of underground internet users use it. A ton of gamers, like in Counter-Strike, n00b is an example of leet for a newbie.
Unfortunatly it is not dead yet. Hopefully it will die out soon as it is a horrible way to type or understand.

I cant stand leetspeak. It was 'cool' back on irc in the 90's but now its just a bad stereotype of computer geeks/gamers. It always comes across as unintelligent to me.
