'''Leetspeak''' or '''|33t5p34k''' is a form of heavily modified English, meant to be Elite Speak. It is used primarily on the internet and the main difference with normal English is that it uses various ASCII characters to replace latin characters, making it a form of substitution cipher, and many variants of it exist across internet communities. It is most commonly associated with online gaming, communities, and as it was originally meant to be, hacking. <ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A787917 </ref>

Despite its name, Leetspeak is used almost exclusively in written rather than spoken communication.
