OMG, I can't believe Microsoft included that article on their site. It sounded quite sarcastic.

Oh my god, I don't know why but this cracked me up so much, especially
ph": often replaces "f," as in "phear" for "fear" (as in "ph34r my l33t skillz") and vice versa, such as spelling "phonetic" as "f0|\|371(."

"pwn": A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term that means to dominate. This could also be spelled "0\/\/n3d" or "pwn3d," among other variations. Online video game bullies or "griefers" often use this term.
Considering I often use that term in real like speak with my friends, if my mom were to ever read that I don't know what she would think.
And hellyer, I CRACKED UP about the "ph34r my l33t skillz" part in there. For some reason I just saw my dad saying that, and it's a very scary image.

XD! Is that article actually serious?
It's important to remember that the leetspeek community encourages new forms and awards individual creativity, resulting in a dynamic written language that eludes conformity or consistency. However, there are a few standard terms. The following is a sample of key words that haven't changed fundamentally (although variations occur) since the invention of leetspeek.

Ahhh, this is Microsoft shwoing that they really do care about the people...
I wouldn't be surprised if MS has an article competition and that this was the chosen winner.

Thus, the word "ham" could be written as "|-|4/\/\."
Yep, because all of the cool 133t 5p34k3rz are talking about ham nowadays.

pah, lower 1337 at best.
upper 1337 is actually interesting, none of this english letters riff raff.
(using nothing but symbols -no numbers except in 1337- and no letters at all, takes a long. long. long time to write it out mind)
