A pathetic attempt at looking cool and saving time. Useful for people who can't spare a third of a second, or morons who can't spell "Dude, got a quarter?" A disgrace to the english language and also almost every other language anyone ever came up with.

A way of typing words online to:

1) Quickly get your message across
2) Annoy someone out of their heads

It often abbreviates words with single letters and replaces an s at the end of a word with a z. It also uses numbers as letters.

Ex:

1=L
3=E
4=A
5=S
7=T
0=O

(Chatspeak user): Lyk lolz0rz I pwn u!!!11!!!1!!1!1
(Normal person): Oh wow. You actually spelt 1 word right in that sentence! *applause*
(Chatspeak user): Lyk d0n7 b3 gell0us 0f mi m4d 5ki115 no0bz0rz
(Normal Person): Oh my god, just be stupid alone
(Chatspeak User): C u l8r nubz0rz
(Normal Person) Ughhh...

Something stupid that's VERY hard to read. And it's really annoying. I mean it's faster to type, "Are you going to the park?" rather than "r u gng 2 da prk 2dy?"
Most chatspeak can be put into categoreis. Let's use "Want to go to the movies with me?"

girly - wnt to go to daa moviiis 2niite?
Characteristics: uses 'i' alot and stretches it out. example: todaii, mii, okii. sometimes says "u wus" instead of "you were".
inverted: wAnT 2 gO 2 dA mOViEz 2NiTe?
I honestly don't see how tying like that is faster.
z's and numbers: wnt 2 go 2 daz moviz 2nitz?
says "z" alot and uses numbers to replace words.
chatspeak on MSN:
halo!!!!1!1!
Hi.
WuZZ upz ma homiii?
Shut up.
o CoM on!
No.
u no dat chik i wuz telin u bot?
No.

or random chatspeak like:
