Chatspeak, aka netspeak. This is a form of speech in which one shortens words and replaces the letter "s" with the letter "z" in an effort to save time and look cool. Chatspeakers also rarely use capitalization or correct punctuation.
Chatspeakers are generally looked down on by people who can actually spell and who have enough self-respect to type out a real sentence.
Chatspeak can never be considered 'literate.'
Examples:
Boys- Boiz
Girls- girlz, grlz, grrlz, gurlz
Mate- m8
Skater- sk8er
You- u
Are- r
Tonight- 2nite
Because- Bcuz
Et cetera.

Get the Chatspeak mug.Considered by many to be a disgrace to the English language yet by others, a convenient way of symplifying sentences. A method of shortening words devised by countless web- surfers. Chatspeak is a whole language in itself, and new terms are constantly being added to it. Often, symbols are used in chatspeak. (!@#$%^&*... etc.) Is proven to degrade a person's English use and be a complete waste of time.
