Could we once and for all rename l33t speak to 54d speak?

I mean sure, it was a little bit cool 10 years ago when no one but the introduced understood it.

Today it is just a sad display of idiocy.

£o£, ?£?!! No leet speakers here!! Only the guys who use numerical values in place of letters. I think thats called"Gimp" leet speak. ???

What is called leet speak started as a  guild could communicate in Dark Age of Camelot and World of Warcraft pvp servers. When normally the guild could not talk to a enemy realm. Since then every little teenagers and groupie friends have made it fashionable. kk,tnks
