EEEPPP!! I have the worst headache now...I've been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to decipher and I only got half way...*sniff* I'm going to go take some headache medicine now...

I can, but I wouldn't to save my life.

Edit: I used to translate to 1337. Good luck to anyone trying to comprehend this, you have my pity.

You wuss.

I did it by hand and YES, I understand it! I'll give you a full translation tomorrow when I'm not semi-dead.

Hmm, should I be scared that I understood Krotho?

Maybe I just need to think of some way to outwit him, that'd |>r00\/3 |\/|'/ 1337|\|e55.

i vote for immediate slays for all people who do not post in languages readable by us old folk.

I would just like to say that I didn't understand any of that...

And how 7 looks like a T is beyond me...

Argh, I can't even translate my message! Really, I start going cross-eyed whenever I see this. It would be easier reading a book in binary.

well you can add it all up, but frist ill break it down
00000010 =2
00000101 =5
00001101 =13
00010111 =23
00000111 =7
00010101 =21
00000101 =5
00010011 =19
00010100 =20

grant total is = 115
binary is to easy tho hex is also to easy... any computer tech knows these langaues...

I hate hex, I never can be bothered to calculate it. Same thing with binairy if it weren't so damned easy.

And yes, Seth = computer techie

You know what would be really hard? Understanding it in Ascii...

-Krotho

Well, I was able to read it, but I agree with you Dionae 7's DON'T look like a T any more than \V looks like a W!

Sorry, Krotho, you'll never qualify as 1337. You used - *shudder* - correct grammar and punctuation in your message. No real 1337 would ever stoop to doing that.

Also in my Twink dictionary a is @, M is |V| and F is |>|-|.
|>|-|34|2 |V|y 13370-8u|2|2170 5|<|ll5

By the way, nobody mentioned the other aspect of Twink speak: How many expressions like 18r, C U etc. are there?

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 =).
