What the Cr4p?
Since when did we pronounce "Teh Ch8t" as "The Ch-eight-et"?? I thought it was well understood that "Teh Ch8t" translated to "The Cheat". (We're going for "What it means", not "How it's pronounced".) —

- Indeed. — It's dot com 18:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, it was preety well before. Maybe it just sounds like that because saying "Teh Ch8t" in proper English would sound more like "The Chait," which may sound like an Australian accent. ♥ teeeffoh! 18:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think it should be consistent with the fun fact here. Change the fact or change the page. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 19:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I see how you can get "The Chaitt" out of that, but that's still talking about how it's pronounced. This page isn't addressing that - it's addressing what the Leetspeak MEANS, and it's pretty clear that "Ch8t" = Cheat, regardless of how it's pronounced. —

(for all those not very fluent in leetspeak, that up there says "the alphabet)
I have an idea for the page...maybe do another table that show each letter in the normal English alphabet (i.e. a, b, c, etc.), but then give the letters that require it their translation into leetspeak (i.e. a=4, t=7, e=3, etc.). Just an idea. ♥ teeeffoh! 13:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
