'''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>
