I don't like leetspeak because:
1. It gives me a feeling today's humane society is replete with obsolete shortcuts that eventually lead to extreme laziness and will indubitably cause intelligent civilizations to atrophy and degrade to the point of where no being will be able to reasonably converse with each other, which in turn will cause populations to rapidly deteriorate to the point of utter extinction.
2. I don't understand it.

:attitude:
But half the time it takes more energy and keystrokes to type that way :confused:

no no no no I mean that it takes more energy half the time to type all 1337 and stuff
It does? I mean,"because" is reduced to "'cause" which is forgivable, but "cuz" is not forgivable! Doesn't it take less time? Instead of "cheese", people say "cheez", instead of "blue", it's "blu". It takes off lots of letters, so it takes off some keystrokes. Here's two of the same sentence.

"1 l13k blu c#33z cuz it'$ yum"
"I like blue cheese because it's yummy"

Evident?

c-h-e-e-s-e
c-shift+3-3-3-z

Same number of keystrokes, but your making it harder on yourself

i-t-'-s
i-t-'-shift+4
