A dialect of typing that uses numbers and symbols to replace letters, and many misspellings. The name is a bastardization of "elite speak", as it was originally popularized to "look cool" and seperate one from word=noobnoobs/word.
Examples of such replacements used in leetspeak are: 1's or |'s for l's and/or i's, 5's or z's for s's, @'s or 4's for a's, \/\/'s for w's, etc. People who use l33tspeak usually have their own form, using their own combinations of replacements and misspellings.
A popular form of l33tsp33k uses random capitalizations of letters that are not (or cannot be, in some cases) replaced.
Nowadays computer geeks, and those who spend much of their day in word=chat roomchat rooms/word or word=forumforums/word will use intermittent l33tsp33k to joke around with one another; true l33tsp33kers are rarely seen around the internet anymore.

Get the l33tsp33k mug.The language people are speaking when they t4|k l1k3 7h15. Spoken by the l33t. Produced by substituting numbers or charachters (or groups thereof) for letters. "A" becomes "4", or "/\" or "/-\". "B" becomes "8" or "|3", and so on and so forth. Some substitutions are mandatory: When speaking l33t, one does no use "you", but "j00". Similarly, "0"s should be substituded for "o"s whereever possible.
