If anyone's spent much time at all on the interweb (or checked out nest material's \/\374P|-|'/51(4L 9R4Ph1771) you may have run into the language of "Leet Speak". I've been interwebing for a while now, yep... You might say I'm a bit of a old hand at this here crazyland, but from time to time, even I run into something so completely leet, I have no fucking clue as to what it means. Well, for those of you \|00B's in the same position, I've assembled a few links to help you on your way to Net Leeteracy. (I made that one up, right here on the spot.)

First on the list, the Wiki entry. This has to be hands down the most comprehensive wiki entry I have ever read (second only perhaps the entry on how to never have a girlfriend.) and has opened up entirely new doors of perception and time wastage to me. I'll let you go ahead and check it out, and when you're done there, come back here are test yourself on how well you've learned.
