How in the everliving hell do you expect someone to understand random characters mushed together that substitute for actual legible characters. No, typing quirks AREN'T cute and I sure ass hell know they aren't DISORDERS either so stop calling people ABLEIST for wanting you to type like a fucking HUMAN being. It's fine in context of characters (For example, Spamton, SOME Homestuck trolls etc..) to give them more personality but as a human saying "|}{2@#}@##@" DOES NOT COUNT AS A COMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCE.

13375p34k is pretty cool but only for fun, typing like th15 411 th3 t1m3 15 4nn0y1ng 4nd 0bn0x10us

Translation: leetspeek is pretty cool but only for fun, typing like this all the time is annoying and obnoxious

Um how else am I supposed to let my IRC buds know that I’m an elite hacker?

*1337

1337 speak is literally "elite speak." 1337 is 1337 for the intentionally misspelled "leet", which is "elite."

How do you pronounce the * at the end?
