abbreviated hacker language 

This is the language that you see in many places online, and even out in public. For example, bathroom graffiti
The basic content of abbreviated "hacker" language is just like the first word says: abbreviated words, often made by taking out letters or altogether converting certain words into numbers. For example, "for" becomes "4". This written or typed form of communication is mostly used by teen adolescents, but not all of them are. The stereotype is destroyed as many young adults also use it, not because theyre stupid, but for two reasons: for hilarity/entertainment value, and for convience. In addition, some spelling is considerably changes in order to disguise profanity as well. Some translated words: ppl=people; 2=to,too; 4=for,fore; plz=please; b4=before; wer=where; ur=your,you're; dat=that; u=you; jus=just; chyt=shit; fukin=fucking; skewl=school; cum=come
A Joke: 3 Things i hate bout dumb ppl
1. i hate it wen ppl point at my watch, and ask "wut time iz it?" bitch, i kno wer mah watch iz wer's urs? do i point at my crotch wen i need to go to da toilet?

abbreviated hacker language 

Hacker Language helps re-enforce the barrier between computer hackers and normals, and it also helps distinguish crackers from hackers. First of all, are things normals wont understand, such as TCP, IP, winsock, Linux, root access, vi, etc due to being simpletons and not bothering learning how to do more than open M$ word and type. Secondly, SOME computer hackers have decided to modify the english language and its structure. Ways in which this occurs can be seen when a hacker goes to replace ‘f’ with ‘ph’, and ‘s’ with ‘z’. Also hackers use numbers in place of letters such as '0' for 'O', ‘1’ for ‘i’ or ‘l’ (though replacing ‘i’ is not the proper usage), ‘3’ for ‘E,’ ‘4’ for ‘A’, '5' for 'S', ‘7’ for ‘t’, and even '9' for 'G'. Other popular effects include cAPiTaliZaTinG, abbrv.'in, jargon, emphasizing words by putting ‘k-‘ before them ("k-rad"), and finishing a statement with a series of characters for emphasis.

NO REAL HACKERS EVER USE THE WORD SCHOOL, NONETHELESS DO THEY ABBREVIATE IT SKEWL.

if you ever see sK00l or anything like dA or any of those ghetto abbreviations, thats not real hacker language. Hackers hate using stuff thats not theirs, especially when its crap made up by losers in high school. GG.
Since the person defining abbreviated hacker language confused himself with 13 year old AOL speak circa 2004. I think even those 13 year olds realize they were stupid and have stopped.
