Noobspeak
Noobspeak an online typing style, it is similar to l33tspeak or leetspeak, except that it is done to save effort, where leetspeak is done to look cool, both are considered noobish by most experienced online metagamers, bloggers, formers, etc.
Noobspeak is usually replacing words with shorter versions, possibly including numbers, that pronounce similar or the same.
Leetspeak replaces individual letters that look similar to the original, not based on pronunciation.
