IM and 1337 speak.

By Ravenhawk | January 26, 2007

I have recently noticed that IM and Leetspeak are becoming very popular in almost every online interaction with other people. Forums, games, blogs, websites, everything. I mean, can’t people type normal? A few abbreviations are fine, but what the hell is this?
“Lyke 0Mg.AHAHA lmfao!!111j00 r dumbsh1T!11!”
If you ask me, one day we will forget our ability to speak english and go to this primitive way of speaking, just because people are lazy and don’t want to type a few extra letters or words.
