Quite a few =). Back when I used to speak it *begins dream sequence*...
We'd juxtapose based on homonym and 1-to-1 letters-to-numbers.
"oo" sounds would most likely be replaced with "ew" or "00". To add inflection, "j" is also used in some places.
For example, I had an IRC Oper on EFNet kill some of my bots once. In a private message, he said "bewm" before severing my connection as well. We would commonly use "j00" for "you", as in "j00 d0nut und3rs74nd".
That example raises another point, that words may be twisted to give a certain flare to their meaning, e.g., "j00 st00pid biatch". Here we see that an extra syllable is added to two common derogatory terms so that the derogatory sounds may be prolonged. The "ah" sound inflected by this juxtaposition was not common in my day, however, it was replaced with an "izz" sound: "bizzitch" (well it sounded kewl at the time...).
Also, some had their own styles of 1337. I typically used a pipe (|) for I, but many used 1 instead. I used 1 for L. Another friend tended to prefix "j0" to everything, such as "j0d4mn!". Others were fond of replacing "da" and its equivalent "d4" with "the", (e.g., "Abov_Da_Law") although I preferred 7h3.
What always amuses me is when people juxtapose every single letter for some odd equivalent, and forget the rich diversity of style that can be found in 1337-speak. In reality, most of us didn't use \/\/ for W, or |) for D, it took too long to type! And too many numbers looked tacky even to our adolescent-addled brains, although maybe that was just my group =).
