In English, however, it is generally indicative of someone who's even more

and all these w0rdz are going to make it into the dictionary sooner, rather
than l8tr. Then we wont be able to win "that's not a word" arguments, and
these punks will dance on the grave of what used to be a respectable and
dignified language.


Each new generation is a reflection of the one that raised it.
