Trick question.
The question is can you speak/type 1337.
It's quite simple to type 1337. Just look at your keyboard and try to come up with some variation of the shape for the letter you wish to make. For example, a K would be a mixture of a | and a < to get you |< simple.
However, the question is can you *speak*/type 1337. One person may easily be able to type l33+ but speaking it is a different matter requiring more brain power.
Here is how l337 would look, pronounced
Zero pipe left chevron *space* pipe minus sign pipe zero backslash frontslash backslash frontslash *space* pipe minus sign pipe four arr dee *space* one zed *space* one plus sign *space* plus sign zero *space* pipe minus sign pipe three four arr?
Not many people have ever tried speaking the language that is leet. For it is a written polymorphic language who's origins are not anything to do with spoken communication, and was never intended for spoken communication.
You have to answer 'other' because the closest you can get is the following option
No - But I Can Read It
There is no option to say, yes I can read/write, but wtf is Av on about? - I cannot *speak* leet
Therefore this forces you into answering other, the clue is in the message

No, there was only 1 line break (see the quote in your post) so you are wrong as you have used 2 line breaks.

The bold italicised result is a holy bond. Do not use it unless you actually are correct.

Avarice is spamming the forums, - i'm just collecting evidence.
What used to be a forum rule has now obviously fallen by the way side. _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |
