1337 is the language of hackers and newbies across the internet. Also, the words in 1337 are usually short(ie "are" becomes "r") and intentionally spelt wrong(ie "the" becomes "teh", this is most common with e switching places and o's becoming p's)

Okay, 1337 is a good subject to talk about. The first thing I would like to clear up is that chatspeak and 1337 are NOT the same thing. Some lazy morons merge 1337 and chatspeak together, soon creating the popular belief that 1337 and chatspeak are the same thing.

Okay, so what /is/ 1337 in the first place? 1337 means Elite. The point of 1337 is to replace all the letters with symbols, and is quite fun to play with. 1337 was first created by some people would wanted to talk in a forum without any outsiders barging in. Some outsiders may have figured out the language and started using it as well. Eventually, 1337 became famous all over the internet. The original use of 1337 is hardly practiced any more, but it survives because many of peope use it for fun. It takes a long time to translate between regular English and 1337 even if you know all 26 1337 secrets, unless you're very skilled at it. Here are the 26 1337 secrets. A = 4 B = |3 C = ( D = |) E = 3 F = |= G = 6 H = |-| I = | J = 9 K = |< L = 1 M = |v| N = |/| (It is backwards because the frontslash under the backspace key is famous for not showing up on many websites.)

Created in 1980 by the original hackers of the Bulletin Board System. l337 is a variation os the word 'leet', which itself is derived from the word elite. Elite has been used in the past to designate a group of users as belonging to a higher social echelon than other users. The term Elite was gained from the classic game Elite.

A language in which numbers and symbols are put together to look like letters. Some people create their own 1337 letters and it makes them look more 1337 by fellow 1337-speakers. Here is an alphabet of 1337 letters I know and have created:

| 7. | Dvorak | ||
|
A typing layout developed in the 1940's and intended to replace the clumsy QWERTY layout, designed in the 19th century to actually slow down typing. The Dvorak layout is far more efficient, allowing a typist to achieve a much faster rate than with QWERTY. There are also one-handed versions of Dvorak, for both the right and left hand. This is the Dvorak layout:
`~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 { } '" ,< .> p y f g c r l /? =+ \| a o e u i d h t n s -_ ;: q j k x b m w v z Any modern computer can be reconfigured to use the Dvorak layout. |
