Yeah but at least "yer" makes SOME kind of sense, goofy as it is. My theory is that it's some kind of shorthand due to laziness..

What stumps me is when they ADD letters.. "wimmin" for example.

I dunno what they even CALL that shit.. I grasp the concept of "leet speak" though it's pretty asinine.

My theory is they're booth off-shoots of the root language "Gibberish".

I believe it's more of a lame way for 8 to 13 year old children to look "cool", I've never seen anyone older/more mature than this use it.

I think the #1 tip should have been "If in dought, spell it with numbers", although you would kind of expect that.

I'll sometimes use "leet speak" but whenever I do rest assured that it's pure sarcasm.

I wonder if they make a special keyboard for that.
