I was going over the Flame Wars and found baseball4[life]'s posts to be unreadable. It got me wondering why do people right like that? Does it give all the twelve year olds out there some sense of belonging? Is it so unbearable to actually write without numbers in between letters? Wow, I can't read what you are saying. You are uber cool.
Go learn how to type properly and get The spicy italian sandwich from Subway. 2 layers of salami and Pepperoni topped off with 4 slices of american cheese. Put a little mayo on there, some lettuce, tomatoes, and black olives, and you've almost got yourself a sandwich. Next, have them cover the sandwich in salt and pepper, then spray some oil and vinegar over the top, wrap it up and there's dinner. I think we can all give thanks for a sandwich that good. mmmmm mmmmm

personal choice i guess.....i use it a little 2 type but i think alot of peeps go overboard with it and then it almost makes no sence at all,like when you start putting the numbers in your words....ex. sk8......skate...

I do it in some situations because it's funny. People that do it like it's normal are just dumbass trend sheep.

leetspeak in pretty dumb but people do what they want to do i guess...
i personally used it sparingly for about a week then i found it too annoying to continue
i guess it's fine when you use it online to tell someone quickly but when the entire sentence is leetspeak with horrible grammar thrown in then that's when i draw the line

I personally think leet is hilarious and I enjoy saying it to confuse people or get a giggle out of those who understand it.

i guess they think it boosts their online self esteem by typing maybe l-I3 '/ VV|-l47sU|D instead of hey whatsup or something.
i cant believe i actually know how to type leet. i guess just so many people on the internet do it. it takes very long too so whats the point?

maybe it's a way to attract attention
some people who have no worthy posts write in leetspeak and people will actually take some time to try to decipher what they said, giving a little bit of attention that they dont deserve. what losers

I agree, leetspeak sucks. But anyways, onto my real post

Go learn how to type properly and get The spicy italian sandwich from Subway. 2 layers of salami and Pepperoni topped off with 4 slices of american cheese. Put a little mayo on there, some lettuce, tomatoes, and black olives, and you've almost got yourself a sandwich. Next, have them cover the sandwich in salt and pepper, then spray some oil and vinegar over the top, wrap it up and there's dinner.

What the hell is that about, man? A little random, huh?

Plus, I'm more partial to the Chicken & Bacon Ranch.
