That is also true zmjezhd. I agree totally 100%. You posses the ability to say what I was trying to say 5 paragraphs shorter. Although I can't say I would of said everything you said, that's arrogance. But I believe you got it right on the button.

It is not, it is used widespread in the gaming community by hackers and non-hackers alike. I use it, and most refer to it as leet or 1337.
This line of argument which is being proposed by several people is like saying that there are many Chinese people who now speak English, therefore English was invented by/for China.

Maybe you misunderstood me. That quote was towards TheFallibleFiend's post: "I thought this sort of language is used mostly by hacker groupies." I never said that it didn't start off that way. I just meant as of now, it's used by everyone and people add stuff to it or even change it again to somthing else.

"The exact reasons for the obfuscation of text with Leet are disputed, but the most probable reason is that hackers needed to communicate without outsiders being able to intercept the message..."
This statement is by all means false.
The message I responded to seemed to be a further explication on this statement which seems to me to be disputing the origin of 133t. \/\/45 1 \/\/|-()|\|6?

Yes, the quote's above this post is one thing, the one you stated before up higher was refering to somthing else. However I am not denying you as in I won't listen to you. I'm just trying to clear up what you are talking about. So no it wasn't a "further explication." But I still say that messages such as you just displayed would be to easy to read to be really used as code. And depending on which type of hacking we are talking about varys in wether or not it needs to be kept hush-hush. I would assume computer hackers would not succumb to such code, they would of never been 5 steps ahead of Microsoft everytime then. But in the world of Multi-Player games, it is possible, but even then, they take only seconds to break unless you got more than a mild case of dyslexia. But again no, the so called "noobs" do not own 1337 but just carried on the word as we kids carried words from our parents generation. Any other statements are welcomed for I want to see if anyone can come down with hard proof other than online dictionarys or news sites for they never really have to much truth in it. But as I said before, it is very unlikly since from the very first time I saw the leetspeak, I could read it very well.

I wonder if people who are "fluent" in leetspeak have trouble writing in standard English?

> I wonder if people who are "fluent" in leetspeak have trouble writing in standard English? well, I would think unless Myridon and AriF are the exception, then, no.

The name's Ari, and I am not the best " composer" of this art. Never said I was, I just am in the gaming world and I know a thing or two about the slang in it. But that's why I am here, I would like to expand my vocabulary and everything else that I lack in, which as it turns out, is everything. I blame the schools. I want Myridon to post again, maybe still researching the leetness. But as always, everyone thinks that they themselves, are right. I think I'm right, he thinks hes right, and AnnaStrophic thinks I can't write. So I am gona have to side with Anna.
