The following paragraph is written in the language '1337' which
means 'leet' or 'eleet' aka 'leetspeak' (also '3l337', 'l33t', or
'3l33t'.) 1337 is a very complex and changing language primarily
because it was first used to get around obsenity blockers in online
gaming. Nowadays, however, games have caught up with much of the
language so you will not see it as much. Writing in 'leetspeak' is
easy, simply replace every letter (or just a few) with symbols that
when alone or put together (sometimes at many as eight symbols for
one letter if you want to get really complex) resemble the letter
so 'Wizard of Foz' could be '\/\/i24(r)d 0|= ]=0z'. Notice not
every letter is replaced and there are many different ways each
letter can be represented. This makes reading 1337 a very difficult
thing to master, but the more you do read the easier it gets. It is
also important to note that 1337 is a computer language invented by
teenagers so texting words and abreviations such as lol, u, and rly
are very much not uncommon. Lists of letter replacements and other
helpful tips can be found online in wikipedia and
http://www.wikihow.com/Read-and-Write-in-1337 for example. So with
all that in mind, give it a try:
