I agree...but sadly, no matter how many times we say this, they don't listen. I think they enjoy watching the blood drip from my eyes. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk

Well, part of the arfument is that this game is (at least in part) by some teenagers who a) don't know better or b) don't care and will just do the opposite of what you tell them.
Just gotta deal.
Live long and be honourable. Laugh often. Remember... it's a game!! |

<- uhm ... ...    ... 
disclaimer: though i sometimes use "leetspeak" (more in the "setting a funny highlight through known context-thingy") my name has nothing to do with it ... it was only a typo which looked "cool" [<-  ] ...
sorry mate, but sometimes it is necessary to use some abbreviations ... and on the topic of leetspeak - here's a quite good wikipedia article ... and to be honest leetspeak is a slang (for some a quite annoying one) but slang is also a possibility to indentify with a certain group - allmost every culture out there (and especially subcultures) uses such slangs for group identification ... the restriction of language can be seen as an oppression of certain groups ... so, if you are annoyed by people using leetspeak - ignore them or tell them your opinion about at the moment when they use it ..

You have to go out of your way to use leetspeak, anybody who does it knows full well what he is doing.
Originally by: Morgit Seebring b) don't care and will just do the opposite of what you tell them.
Then they should get forum warnings until they DO care. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk

Dude, get a hold of yourself. Obviously you don't realize that at least 1/3 of the people that play this game didn't learn English as their first language. You can't expect someone from Germany to speak perfect English, just as they can't expect you to speak perfect German. It's plain and simple, if you can't handle the way people type, leave the game. 99,999 subscribers won't change just because you want them to.

Kids will be kids.
I even had a CV sent to me for a trainee position, and half of the words were leet or txt abbreviations.
I called him to ask if it was a joke, he didnt seem to know it wasn't considered good English. I advised him to go back to school or take an english course.

Irony? 
and...
<<  
But im more against mis-spelt words and improper english to be honest. 1337 and "teh" is acceptable, what isnt acceptable is "u" "ur" and other similar non-words. ----- Memorable Quotes <Jarltan Dimtras> OH MY GOD MY GF IS A DUDE |

While the "style" of the original Post leaves a lot to be desired, I will say that I am completely and 100% agreed with the point they are trying to get across, I mean seriously, how does mistyping words with numbers in the middle make you look "cool"?

Most annoying to see are "u" instead of "you", "r" instead "are", "gd" instead of "good" and other superabundantly used abbreviations. Ok, I understand there are some combat situations when you need to pass information very quickly and don't have TS available. But we are talking about forum posts, casual in game chat and evemails.
After all, while language gets more obscure, it requires more attention just to figure out what has been said.

If you are meaning me ... i didn't say i decided to use this typo "to look cool", i decided to use this typo because it looked "cool" to ME ... there's a difference - it's more like "well this word has a certain shape on the paper/flow when spoken" - in my case i liked the "shape" of my name
... well i know the choosen words were a bit misleading ... the usage of the term "cool" can be discussed (but hey - look at the smileys )
but it's all about language and words - stop harrasing people who approach to language on a different vector
btw - another word i like because of it's appearance: nausea _________________________________________

WELCOME TO TEH WORLD OF MMORPG i dont know if u have oticed it or not but you are playing a game - and because its a game u get gamers playing it and when u are fighting or talking in lots of diffrent convos u tend to want to type a lot quicker so u use 1337 or u use cut down words shuch as GG - GF - GD - TNK - SRY -
now if your an old git who wants to type to adults in correct english i suggest u go find a chat room or forum where they took abut the contents of the finacial times or the contents of a packet of corn flakes WE the gamers are here and we will not change for old people and yes i know my spelling is bad and yes english is my 1st launguage and NO I DONT CARE ! Deal with it

Leetspeak and AOLspeak (you=u, are=r, whatever) in forums, EVEmails, casual chat, etc, may be different, but they both stem from the same thing: A condition known as "being a moron". Hence, I tend not to actually differentiate between the two. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk

Parents, profanity filter, please im far from being a sheltered individual, you have your way, I have mine.
I never said anything about people's playstyle, and I am a fast enough typer normally to be able to communicate effectively with full words, yes I'm lazy at times, but everyone is.
I've been using the internet for what, 6 years at least so if you think your flame is anything I haven't seen before, forget it.
