1337?


1337? What is this you call "1337"? Well, that my good friend, that is a very good question. "1337" is a language used by a lot of computer people because they get bored and feel like typing in a language that not many people know. Some people can speak it fluently, while others can just recognize the general characters. In English, 1337 is pronounced Leet, or more often known as Leet Speak. No, I don't know how it's pronounced in Spanish or Japanese or any other language, if I find out, I will post it. Oddly enough, when typed out, Leet Speak should just be left as 1337, no Speak at the end. Don't ask me why, I don't know. 1337 is a good language for passing notes or for secret organizations, (so if you're tired of getting caught in class passing notes and getting them read out loud, teach your friends 1337, it helps a lot.) I came across 1337 at a forum and soon came to love the language. Seeming confusing it at first, I thought I would never learn it, but I soon started to understand the art. So now to help you 1337-less people, I'll make a guide so you can learn, too.

A = @ I = 1
L = 7
N = /\/
R = .
S = $
T = +
U = |_| or \_/
There are probably many that I have forgotten at the moment. If you find one that I have yet to post, please contact me.

Notes


  • 1337 is like Chatspeak, so many of these features may be used by Chatspeakers.
  • Seeing as there are so many different types of 1337, it can be a bit hard to translate a sentence into English. If this is the case, use your best judgment, and if the sentence doesn't make sense, try using a different "accent" to translate.
  • Some commonly used 1337/half 1337 phrases are pl0x, s0z and <3. Meaning please, sorry, and ♥
If you have any trouble learning 1337 from the guide, feel free to contact me and I'll be glad to try my best to help you understand/translate. If you have any other tips and notes on 1337, contact me with them, also.
