Dont ya just love technoshorthand? My brother-in-law types like that on his messanger services. Mainly because they dont teach spelling up here.
I hate people who type like that.
(boy did I just leave myself open on that one.)

What the hell was that? Did anyone understand that? I occasionally understood some of it, but I can occasionally understand words in German too, and I don't speak German. Just like looking at something in German, I occasionally noticed something there that looked like I'd seen it in English.
I mean, I use shorthand and abbreviations too. But I can still read and understand what I'm saying.

My head hurts now. Mommy? Make them stop!
I actually understood them.
I had hosted a CS server for a short while back before 1.5 came out. I posted as one of the rules: When typing, use english/american. I would ban all the little goobers who used L33T speek.

Two quotes leap to mind:
"It's like he's trying to speak to me!"
and
"It's the new enigma code. It's practically unbreakable."

Insert anglo-phobic/Americo-centric hegemonic/we-kicked-your-butts-out-of-our-country-in-1776-don't-make-us-come-over-there joke here.
Really, I spent a month in Scotland a few years back. It really is like speaking another language.
Then again, visiting my family in Georgia is like speaking another language too.

I think you might need a translator to understand what is being said. I sure as hell can't understand it it just looks like jibberish to me. my head already hurts just looking at it.
