A parent’s primer to computer slang is simply a wonderfull article by Microsoft. It is nice to see they are trying to educate the parenting in-duh-dividuals how to understand leetspeek.

Letters can be substituted for other letters that may sound alike. Using “Z” for a final letter S, and “X” for words ending in the letters C or K is common. For example, leetspeekers might refer to their computer “5×1llz” (skills).

Mistakes are often uncorrected. Common typing misspellings (or typos) such as “teh” instead of “the” are left uncorrected and may be adopted to replace the correct spelling.
