Despite what many people think, leet speak is not when you make letters with non-letter characters, like

| /\/\ |_33+ 2 |)00|)!!!

Though the non-letter characters used to make letters method is used occasionally, it is primarily made up of numbers acting as letters, like so.

y0 j00!!111 u c m3 0wnz0rz dat n00b v3r1ly ?? lolololololololo

Note that j00 is often used in place of "you" and many words end with a 0rz or a z. Also, letters aren't ALWAYS used, just when someone feels like being "l337". Leet Speak originated as a way for getting vulgar words (such as "u r fuxx0rz d00d!!) through filters in chat rooms and games.

Also known as str33t 1337. In the early days, leet speak was a form of expression to prevent others from understanding certain texts written by crackers. Over the years, it has become a "hip" way of speaking, and more recently has been adopted by the e-gangsta community as the ultimate form of language bastardization known to mankind. Street leet is the translation of regular street language into leet speak, giving the user a sense that he is not only "gangsta" but also appeals to the nerd-dom of the internet.

Unfortunately, this is the single hardest language to understand, as street language often uses made-up words or even unrelated words to refer to a specific action or object and leet speak turns this already semi-fictional speech into a combination of letters, numbers and available keyboard symbols to make up the already barely discernable meaning of the text or sentence in question.
"Y() th335 B33Ch b3 al1 up 1n /\/\4h GrI11z, 51pP1N 0N 173 DR-1nK, G!" is an example of Street Leet.
