Bouts with 1337-1t15

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#1

I have suffered from 1337-1t15 (leet-itis) one major time. It involved the creation of a username (h0ndaphr33k) that I use on other boards. I was in awe with the “language”. Then I came to the SDMB and fixed my ways.

Anyone else?

I first stumbled upon leet in late 1998, in the good ole days of the int@rweb… it was cool, I picked it up almost naturally, soon my sp3ak b3c4me3 a b17 li3k th15.

It was cool, back then you could express j00rs3lf different, but s0()n my language would slip into deep £€37, looking l13k s0//\30n€ |34|2f3/) ÆN @N5! 74bL€ 4££ Øv3r the keyboard.

Tales for the l33t, mmo(rp)gs and the progress of webcomix then made leet from an injoke to a mass phenomenon, and as everything featured in thinkgeek it was l4m3.

I got rid of that habbit, only occasionally using a well placed w00t, roxxor or pwned to make myself understood.

My name is Bubba Ray, and I am a 1337 5p34k3r.

I’ve never been good with languages.

Silly geek languages are even worse.

Or, maybe I’m just jealous of the way leetspeak rolls tripingly off the keyboards of some?

Naaah!!

My eyes are tearing up.

I checked, and they haven’t taken over yet. It was a close-up on one of our cameras.

w00t and l33t (and w00tw00tl33tl33tl33tw00t) are worthy, others are unworthy.
