An alternative spelling to the
word like, usually used on the
Internet, especially myspace, IM, etc. The word is usually accompanied by other words that have been "shortened", such as ur, omg, and wtf. Sometimes it seems like the person who types this way is trying to decode a message, because it is nearly impossible to read to people who actually care about proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Apparently, the people who type this way are either
lazy because they don't want to type out the entire
word, or are trying to be scene or something like that.
