Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of people tying in H4x0r-speak? Teh next time someone in my journal types a 3 inst3ad of an 3… I’m going to slap em silly.
Who else? Anyone… anyone? Bueller… Bueller?
Oh, dear heavens, yes. A close friend of mine actually says short remarks in 1337 occasionally, and it drives me bananas. A classmate of mine with whom I must work on a project types a good deal of his responses to the discussion board on which we post useful links in 1337.
1337 is mildly interesting, and it may have been fun at some time in the past, but FOR GOD’S SAKE, PEOPLE, STOP TYPING LIKE YOU’RE ALL ILLITERATE DERANGED MONKEYS!

Yeah, that’s what I thought. You can join me in hell, if you wish.

Can’t remember the thread it came from, but I thought the quote fit.
LOL!
OTOH, you should see some other scientific papers. They do look entirely as incomprehensible and foreign as l33t.
I wonder if ‘13E4’ is covered under ‘must post in english’ rules?
Be glad you don’t teach English (or probably any other language for that matter).
