True, I concur, but you see my point. Also, maybe English will become 1337speek gradually? But yeah, I'd rather have the intelligence to write longer or complex words better more than the zero effort required for leetspeak.

Actually, when I text, I don't abbreviate. I spell everything out.

For once I agree with you. *shot* I just find it easier to type in full English, rather than chatspeak.

WUT? Something is strange there... Isn't it lacking a verb for "thou"? As far as I know "thou" means "you" (s.) :-/

If someone is interested in knowing Older "Englishes":

I've been confused with a few of these abbreviations. How do they look anything like the real word? I mean really.... pptp (Please pass the potatoes. taken from Game Informer)
This is a signal of illiteracy.... May we burn those foul people who have started the Leetspeak Movement? I want to actually understand what I'm reading. Not learn a language I already know.
