Does anyone else agree that this is the worst thing to happen to computers since spam? Its bad enough that the educational system is falling apart, do these kids need to make it worse by voluntarily destroying their own grammar? Kids can barely write a comprehensible essay these days, but they can sure can post "Hu iz ur fav Buffy character?"
Is it the new slang, or a horrible mockery of written language? Do they have leet-speak in other languages? Bad enough english is getting butchered, it would suck if it was happenening to other languages as well.
