between this and math errors... those are great in copy.

I had one industrial client who repeatedly uses "l337 533|<" in their copy. While I can translate, it does give me a chuckle to read.

It's not math, it's "LEET SPEEK" !
(but it seems to be missing the "P")

just someone who assumed that the users would behave themselves if the normal system (which had checks and balances) was streamlined into something which could be done online (without any way to validate the users).

Add a mix of college geekery and voila', you have one of the more amusing things seen on TV.

How and why they called it hacking just further proves to me that most of the people who report the news need to go back to school.

What a great thread! Some of my favs- "supposably" and "alterior motives".

I have a friend who was an anchor in OK back in the 80's and his co-host referred to the "Ap-OH-LOW Ecks-eye-eye" lunar mission" on the air.

I humbly bow to the Board Czar and admit my TOTAL ignorance of gaming & Leet speek!
