That weird language.

Peanut · 04-06-2003, 06:07 PM

Does anyone know what that weird typing computer language is? You know the one with the $uXX0rz and all those types of words.

**Kali** · 04-06-2003, 07:51 PM

That would be l33t. I'm not fluent, I just know enough to understand Largo in MegaTokyo. Man, I can't believe I just uttered that sentance...

**GK Punk** · 04-06-2003, 08:26 PM

Google can translate web pages, I believe they call it hack speak on their site, but most people know it as l33t

*That Matt Guy* · 04-06-2003, 08:28 PM

I call it gibberish that a bunch of geeks made up.

Lol that's really what it is... I think it's lame because everytime you go on an Online game like PSO, there are several people saying crap like "That suxxorz!!!!!111!!1" or "I am teh l33te3st!"

Peanut · 04-06-2003, 10:54 PM

Is there an actual alphabet to it or something??

ironhelix · 04-06-2003, 10:56 PM

The people that created it were probably high on pot.

Yeah, do a search on Google, you'll find it, it seems to be mostly replacing Letters with Certain Numbers

Peanut · 04-07-2003, 12:19 AM

Yeah I just checked it out. That's basically what it is. You can memorize the few differences within a minute. N0w 1 c4N t4lK l1k3 4 J4cK455!

SavantiRomero · 04-07-2003, 01:49 AM

Yes there is an alphabet.

l337 dud3 5p34ch was derived from computer admins who wanted a way to remember passwords by replacing letters in words with numbers.

It's simple really

A = 4
E = 3
T = 7
I = 1
S = 5
g = 9
etc etc.

Replace ! with 1's also. There are variations but that's the simplistics of it. Then you just have to learn how to talk like a geek.

I'm a leet dude!

1'm 4 l337 dud3!11111

you suck

j00 5uxxor!1111!11

etc etc. It's extremely popular in Everquest.

Th1s thread pwnz joo OLO!1!
This language was made so when hackers went on search engines they could find eachother's hacks without being discovered, but with megatokyo, jeffK and online gaming it got more popular.

*decides to stick with Korean*

Which.. unfortunately turns into another form of computer HTML gibberish whenever I type Hangul on these forums.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 04-07-2003, 05:52 PM

Aw gee, you really think you can speak Korean horse? it isn't like learning spanish and isnt as universal so it is much harder to learn, it is true that no one can speak a language that isn't their original fluently.

SavantiRomero · 04-07-2003, 11:07 PM

Not true. I've met a few people in the military who can fluently speak 3 or even 4 languages.

I've also met people in the civilian life who were extremely fluent with just 2.

ironhelix · 04-07-2003, 11:32 PM

Sometimes I have a hard time speaking English.

True... my husband speaks three languages fairly well: Korean, English, and ebonics. His sister speaks Korean, English, and Japnese.

Me.. I rather stick with HTML, CSS, Lingo, and Javascript.
