Hi, Someguy,

There are several web sites that provide listings of the meanings of the different abbreviations used in chatting and posting online. Here is a link to one of those lists of definitions:

Nah, 1337 isnt complex or a language. (especially not the way you do it...) can you atleast stop using the foreign symbols in it ?? Its hacker-ese, not a bastard language...

OH, and for those who can't read what he said, translation is:
"There also is this language called leet, but it's complex"
