Oh my that is just making me cringe. I hate when people pretend to know what they're talking about like that. >_<

I love you, Microsoft. This really is a helpful guide, but not to parents. I'll now direct anyone who wishes to learn the ways of the 1337 towards this handy guide.

"ph": often replaces "f," as in "phear" for "fear" (as in "ph34r my l33t skillz") and vice versa, such as spelling "phonetic" as "f0|\\|371(."

*gasp* *votes no* tongue.gif

And how do they propose parents use the guide anyway? Stand behind the teen and "eavesdrop" on every single word? Even my parents never did it quite so obviously glare.gif

Am I the only person who's brain fried while trying to read what Shiri and Blastron wrote?

I personally stopped being able to read it after the third word of Blastron's and the first word of Shiri's..

roflmao.gif laughing1.gif clap_1.gif This site is hilarious.

I couldn't read Shiri's post either. Usually I can read 1337 as long as I say it outloud... dry.gif

Translation on Blastron:
Dude, Microsoft is the suck and will get owned by apple because apple spends time on improving their products instead of going dumb stuff like this.

Shiri used a far more archaic and hard to decipher dialect. I could only easily make out about half of the words.
Shiri2005-02-19 03:08:49
:/ I actually thought my version was EASIER than Blastron's. Granted it's probably a bit older, but still.

Excuse my while I die.

I could read Blastron's, but not Shiri's.

I think Shiri's says:

"Nah, they just can't remember their code from last time!"

edit: and Ellara posted that ^ ^ while I was typing mine

i'm I the only one who does not understand whats so silly about the webpage?

Probabbly the number one source of viruses on a home computer is your kid downloading things because he thinks its cool, installing it and the parents not knowing what the hell happened because they don't know tech lingo.

i know as a Kid a gave my parents lots of grief over that fact, and we didn't even have leet speek.

Also, Daganev, yeah, but what are they going to do, stand over your shoulder and read what you're typing in 1337 while you download stuff? :/
