I also say it just for laughs. I am never serious and yes KaFKa you hear it alot from n00bs in CS mostly like this: OMG!!111 h4x0r5!!1111. But anyway anyone who speaks it just thinks it's "cool" but as it turns out it actually isn't at all

i don't think speaking in 1337 is cool. i just got curious one day since i saw the google site in that entire language, so then i started translating along with my friend.
i can speak it, but i do it to piss people off so they can't read what i type.
"l33t" was originally developed by software pirates and hackers, so they could speak their minds in IRC without certain words getting caught by scanning programs that were introduced to catch certain words and incriminate people.
Now, of course, there are other things used to get around scanning programs, most notably, a technique used by Newsgroups to keep scanners from picking up e-mail addresses and such. Let's see who can figure THIS one out--

Now this might be a stupid question, but I don't anything about this 'leet' language, so please refrain from insulting me as I am about to ask this.
What are the most common phrases you use when speaking 'leet'? Like greeting somebody, for example.
Just curious that's all.

There are also more complicated forms that don't really translate to PSO World's forums, for their extensive use of the expanded character set. I've seen programs for AOL that will automatically convert characters typed in a chat window into these other versions.
Now, of course, in everyday net surfing, you're more likely to see "l33t" in the following form--
"i r t3h l33t."
"n0 j00 r n0t! u r t00 st00pid t0 b3 l33t!"
"stfu, n00b. j00 d0n't 3v3n n0 w0t l33t m34nz."
"0MFG!! pwn0red!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!11"
[EDIT] On a side note, no one should EVER be lead to confuse internet shorthand for "l33t". And it's not pronounced, "leet", either. It's pronounced "L-eete", or "El Eet". It's a screwed up literation of "Elite," and it was originaly used only by individuals that were hardcore into hacking and piracy. They were, quite literally, Elite, hence the name of their "alphabet".
The practice of subtituting single letters for entire words is used by people who are desperately trying to type faster. In my opinion, it's atrocious to do so, and a sign of weakness of mind to make a habit out of it. I have literally smacked friends of mine upside the head, for substituting "any" with "n-e". It's plain dumb, and makes you look like you're illiterate. I will accept "j00" as an alterate spelling for "you" with an accent attached to it, and "j00r" as an alternate spelling for "your" or "you're", but "u", "ur" and "u r", are not words, by any means.
When I first started browsing the 'net, my typing skills were little better than a dimly practiced hunt and peck method, but I refused to abbreviate words, and specifically chose to punctuate as I saw necessary. Now my typing speed is quite good, and I've known myself to type considerably faster than many people I've conversed with who make use of internet shorthand.
My last thoughts on shorthand... It leads to bad habits. Turning in a research paper entitled, "The Time of Ur Life" will not score you an A. Ever. So, it makes you look dumb, and leads to bad habits that'll cost you your GPA and/or reputation. Just don't do it.

It would seem Meira is correct on this one.
Before it would actually be used in an intelligent manner, a sort of "code", if you will, similar in use to, say... military codes, although perhaps to a lesser extent.
As for the />vviv20/25 dialect of 1337, I use it to make fun of it, not in it's "serious"(ly moronic) extent.
Of course, that just creates a Third dialect, the "make fun of 1337" dialect, which basically over-exaggerates the fundamentals of the first and second dialect. For example, several !!11!oneonewonone1! at the end of the sentence is not ACTUALLY seen in the first and second dialects in the beginning. But then the third dialect, which satirizes earlier dialects, became adopted and embedded within the second dialect, the />wwiv20/25 version. So even the lesser version of the original version has been lessened.
Heh.
