With the w00t and 1337 there is a whole other alphabet made up to type that way. Some people are really fast at it. I have know idea why someone bohtered to invent it but it comes in handy some times.

i loved this page so much i have it bookmarked…
> Because, lest you have failed to work it out, that is what l33t is all about. It’s about the superior feeling you get when posting on a forum that you are the only person who knows what you’ve written. It’s about being able to call somebody else a llama simply because you are l33t3r than they are. And most of all, it’s about feeling closer to the gaming community that you know you are the worst part of.
lmao 😛 😛

I think most of the internet jargon so to speak was created more for Internet Games… So you can type in things like good faster by saying gud. Like… This sentence…

I have enough trouble typing normaly. I don’t think I can learn another way. I can read it and that is good enough for me.

I’m used to the w00t now. It is the other words that can get confusing. I would rather it not used either. w00t is ok though.
