I don't have a problem with spelling errors, I just have problems with people that type out messages in Leetspeak.

I wondered about that too. Here's what I found at Wikipedia:

Leet (1337) is a sociolect variety used primarily on the Internet, particularly in online games. The term itself is derived from the word Elite, meaning “better than the rest,” and generally has the same meaning when referring to the hacking skills of another person.
Leet can be defined as the perturbation or modification of written text. <cont.>

Okay it's my turn.  We all seem to agree on at least one thing.  We all have both our strengths and weaknesses.  That of course is a given.  I will also admit that I have at least put some judgement on people that don't know how to spell correctly or who don't even bother to try.  It's just something that I have done however it's not ever the deciding factor.  *Laughs*  If it was I wouldn't be owned by a great Master right now.  He's horrible at spelling and grammer.  Some people have great strength in the reading, writing and grammar others don't.  It's just that simple.  Besides we should all have practice in our typonese.  It sometimes helps break the ice.  By the way if ya'll can't find the spell check here on collarme and just can't stand sending horribly spelled posts or emails.  Go to www.webster.com it's the good ole fashioned dictionary.  I am sure you know the one.

Yes, that's what leetspeak is. Sorry, I missed this post!

Here's an example of the strange language:

7|-|15 15 \/\/|-|@ L337 5P34|< L00|<5 L1|<3. d0 j00Z U|\|D3R574|\|D \/\/|-|@ 1 4/\/\ 54'/1|\|9?

Here's an English to leet (1337 in leetspeak) converter:

And while we're on the subject, atypical spelling of nouns and pronuns does not a true dom/sub make.

If someone overlooks calling me master/dom instead of Master/Dom, I don't get apoplectic about it. We both have more important issues to deal with.
