What is leetspeak?
Leetspeak was formed in the early days of computer programming, where programmers would replace certain letters with either numbers or symbols, when spelling a word. This method was used to evade text filters in early Internet Relay Chat (IRC) forums. This behavior was adopted by PC gamers as a symbol of elitism over common players. Recently, leetspeak has bled over into mainstream culture as a less-than-serious method of demonstrating one's "leetness".
