Leet can be defined as the perturbation or modification of written text. For example, the term leet itself is often written l33t, or 1337, and many other variations.

Things like 'pwn' instead of 'own' and shortcuts for words such as 'u r' instead of 'you are' are examples of leet speak or chatroom lingo.



My peeve with it critter crazy is just basically trying to understand a post. I'm not going to spend hours trying to disect someone's post when it's a paragraph long with no breaks and no basic sentence structure.

Won't read it, won't reply. Simple as that. So people can type whatever they want, but they can't expect me to read it either.

I do understand that we have several members from other countries, but half the time their use of the English language is better than most American users.
well that is your choice, but you do not have to make peole feel like crap, just because you dont like the way they spell!! I admit that i can get confused by the way peolple write too, but i am not going to just dismiss there question/problem because there grammar and spelling is wrong!! That is just rude!!

For example: someone is upset cause their dog ran away, are you going to dismiss that thread becaus they spelled something wrong or had a page long paragraph, because they wrote the thread while they were upset???
