Net-speak. Chat-speak. 1337-speak. Whatever you call it, we find it everywhere. On instant messenger (most prominently,) blogs (you’ll never see it on mine,) even websites (sad, the demise of PROPER ENGLISH.) That’s why I laughed when I found this banner (source unknown.)

Although it’s not really going to end 1337-speak without using contractions correctly (Dont?)
