What kind of lingo is this?
« on: January 11, 2005, 03:42:59 PM »
I know I'm losing touch. With increasing frequency I see this kind of thing here, and other places on the 'net:

bish = l337   or   = teh suxor,    etc...

Does it have a name? Help me catch up, anyone. When'd it begin?

Besides that, young people have lost the incentive to learn grammar and punctuation, much less correct spelling. I know I'm sounding like an old fart in this post.
