Then some kids thought it was cool to copy these hackers so he could be cool like them and 1337 becomes mainstream; 1337 soon becomes the main communication root for counter-strike, quake, and all sorts of online gamers.
From then on, anything associated with 1337 equates to the degradation of humanity and basic intelligence.
Unfortunately, the cyber world allows the sub-humans to continue to grow like parasites.
Languages do change, but rarely do they degrade. Convenience (like the Japanese development of the kana from Chinese kanji) is included as the development of language (after all, I'm sure Hieroglyphics were more complex than, say, Latin) but 1337 is far from convenient, and certainly real English is way better. In fact, something similar to 1337, but less on scale and success, was attempted by Webster as it tried to simplify the English language; nonetheless, his (original Mr. Webster's) successes are limited. That includes the removal of "u" in words such as colour; or aluminium's "i." Yet, Webster's attempt could be considered as a movement for convenience, not for "coolness".

Re: Speak Leet
Lets go over some general 1337, such as grammer rules and the suffix's that can be used. So far all i have is "0rz" Which means "-Er" Or "-Er"

Oh get off it, my dear, venerable but ever so slightly stuck-up Brother Dâriûsh. It is a part of urban language, game slang, argot, youth culture, technoculture. Each generation creates its own (varied) idiom. Mine certainly did. I remember one teacher warning me and my classmates in stern tones that we spoke gibberish and that with our lax attitude toward language we would never make it in the Kille (Dutch for 'Big Chill').
'Beg your pardon?' a student asked: 'The "Kille"?'
'Yes, the Kille','he said. 'That's a figure of speech, indicating the toughness of adult society.'
'Ah,' the student mused: 'Must be a generational thing...'

Re: Speak Leet
Sounds familiar. I and my friends did that in school, but it was only because we couldn’t speak the native tongue. We communicated through a mix of languages, frightfully confusing, even more so to our poor teacher. It was eventually supplanted by the dreadful vernacular young immigrants use.

You came out unrumpled. And that is an authentic British understatement.

I need to look at Wikipedia again.

It's really sad, but I was able to translate all of it in my mind in a couple of seconds, just looking at itIt's what I get for having played FPS's so much a few years back.

That is indecipherable. It's like trying to read linear A.
I suppose I could read it if I took the time, and read through the Wikipedia translation of the letters, but I really don't want to waste my brain energy on it. Maybe tomorrow, when I am in the mood to decipher this enigmatic script, I will.
