Pwn leetspeak I don t believe so I wrote in please read more detail there about how I disagree that words like pwn are anything to do with leetspeak They are more correctly gamer speak or Internet slang There seems to be some fundamental misunderstanding of what leet speak is in both these articles The two should not be confused apart from that there are some crossover usage because most hackers crackers are also gamers Consequently references to pwn and other Internet slang terms should not be in the main body of this article as they are not leet or leet speak Please feel free to support or disagree here and that there should be more distinction between what is properly leetspeak gamer speak Internet slang in these articles but reflecting the crossover usage where it occurs Thanks 82 44 93 55
