Leet hasn't been a serious entity on the Internet since 2000. You may as well ask if we're irritated by this hot new "All Your Base" fad.

Well, yeah, it's old. But it's still around.

Your desperate ploy is not ace. :|

Anything but proper language, be it English, Spanish, Russian or whatever, upsets me as much as 1337 does.

1337 annoys the hell out of me. But, now that I don't play Counter-Strike anymore, I don't hear it that much.

I picked yes.

But I guess I shouldn't talk, considering. ;)

L337 sp33k annoys me to no end. It was old back in 1996, and in 2000 if you used it in front of me I'd have dope slapped you. Using terrible spelling and grammar (I'm not talking bad spelling and the occasional grammatical error, I'm tlaking abot dis stuf) really gets on my nerves too. It's one thing if English isn't your primary language, it's another if you've been speaking it all your life and still have the linguistic skills of a 2 year old. In conclusion, proper spelling is ace.

It is hardly elite.

1337 somehow rhymes with "neat".

Del Murder
02-17-2005, 05:57 AM
This language isn't good enough for me to learn how to pronounce it correctly.

Yamaneko
02-17-2005, 05:59 AM
Are you elite or something?

Rase
02-17-2005, 06:05 AM
Yes, simple as that. Also, using U for you and such stuff, unless playing a FPS online (in which case you usually have about 5 seconds to type or you'll die).

I find it amusing and will use it on occassion when I'm trying to be funny.

I don't mind it, but I can't do it.

Really, what's the point?

i don't see wha tthe big deal is, if people feel that they want to type that way, 137 7h3m d0 17. doesn't bother me one bit.

02-17-2005, 08:26 AM
I dont mind it at first but then after a while i get bugged cause most of the time i dont really see what the person ends up saying lol!

but im not like OMFG I HAT THIS BLAH BLAH BLAH!! except for that moment!

I'd say discussions about it are more annoying.

Lionx
02-17-2005, 09:03 AM
Dont care as long as i still understand what you say. A little here and there for fun is fine as long as its not cluttered with it.

Mindflare

Funny in certain circumstances, but generally annoying. I tend to stay away from it.

Old Manus
02-17-2005, 10:42 AM
If I see it, I just type properly so they can't understand what I'm saying.

Oh yeah..

It's annoying more than anything. 1337 in itself is a notable number because of it, but otherwise it's all just annoying.

I don't care who uses it, but if someone is talking in leet on a forum or to me, I ignore it happily. :)

Ya the blatent disregard for all grammar and spelling online bugs me to no end. I haven't really encountered 1337 since Counter Strike (I still play, just not online). I sometimes say sw33t or something, but that whole thing where not a single character consists of less than two other characters like slashes or whatnot ... ya, that can go.

I make fun of people who talk 1337 in chat-rooms. They try to act angry when I piss them off, but I just can't take them seriously when they type like that. It's amusing.

I don't mind a little bit, but anything beyond that is highly annoying.

It's so obnoxious, it's only funny when people attempt to speak it outloud.

Yes, I've done this plenty of times. My friend Mike and I would walk around talking l337 around the cooler people just to confuse the hell outta them. :)

I can type it, and read it, but I really don't all that much. None of my friends understand it, so I don't.
Megatokyo anyone?

Shadowdust
02-18-2005, 03:23 AM
I don't even know what most of this ridiculous language means. So yeah, I hate it. I'd probably still hate it even if I did know what all of these terms meant. What's the point of trying to have a conversation with these little codes being used and crap.

Whenever I see people complaining about language on message boards, in a topic like this, there's some 6 posts that don't follow proper grammar or spelling but educate others on how horrible the subject bastardization really is.
I then want to quote these people, but in the end I realize it's effort.

Why the crap did I write this? :{ DRAMA!

reno, who did you get to type all that for you? :)

I just ignore anything written in 1337 and then it doesn't bother me at all.

1337 is the most god-awful thing to ever exist. Period.

I can't type leet so I'm jealous of those who can. xD

I think it can be fun if it isn't too EXTREME.

Then it gets confusing >_>

Knowing it helps when you read stuff like this. (http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=9)

It annoys me like anything. Who goes through all the trouble of writing in leet?

Chibi Youkai

It's fun to do occasionally. Especially when someone keeps bugging you when you're im'ing.

Chaos
02-19-2005, 11:35 PM
It annoys me, yeah.
Mind you, loads of things annoy me at the moment.

l33t speak just makes me think the person is trying too hard to be cool and stuff.

Having said that, I have used it on occasion - thereby I am desperately wanting coolness. ;)

Chaos

Ouch!
02-19-2005, 11:43 PM
I can't stand leet, the only time it's funny is when you're mocking someone who actually does speak it. For the record, I can type in leet, but I've never used it unless I'm making jokes about it.

Destai
02-20-2005, 12:14 AM
I can stand it in mobile text when people are trying to save if moneys hard to come by but on the net it just annoys me and I think its totally unnecessary. OMFG DA WRRRD U AS T3 WHO-LLLL LETRRRS N IT!1!!

Once I banned someone from a chatroom. I had made him my kick bitch for using 1337 excessively, and was about to ban him when he started going into a rant about how his rights are being violated, and how he should be able to speak what he claimed was an actual language, rivalling French and Spanish. So I made fun of him and banned him.

This doesn't mean I hate 1337. I really don't like to have any opinion or feeling in regards to something so pointless. Besides, that guy was an idiot and it was fun kicking him.

1337 speak is the stuff the 12 year old gamers on xbox live.They put that crap in there names then they act all kewl and crap talking about halo 2.And how they suck at every other FPS except for Halo.I think little kids just want to sound kewl or 1337 as they put it.

edit- BTW no language can rival Navajo!!!!

pfft. Leet was around when those kids were in diapers. It just has grown less popular. Back B4 Xbox when i played CS leet was the only way to speak, and thats when words like owned got popular.
