![]() You just take letters in your message and replace them with numbers or symbols that look similar. Well, let me tell you how l33t 5p34k works. Ironically, "newbies" (people new to computer use) started using this code as a way of showing that they were part of the "in" group as well, until now, the tables have been turned, and most serious computer users look on people who use leet speak as being "newbies" or immature. They used this form of writing as a way of showing they were part of the "in" group. ![]() The special group was people who were very advanced computer users, message board posters, and gamers. The term 'leet' comes from the word 'elite', which means "part of a special group". Leet Speak (also known as 1337 sp34k) is a code which was common a few years ago, but is quickly losing popularity - something for which I am personally very glad!
