I've noticed alot of the blogs i've been reading lately have been "l33ting-up" people's names. What's up with that?
In case you are not familiar with l33t, from what little I know, it's changing some of the characters of a word to that of a number or symbol that somewhat looks like the original character. For example, instead of using "a", replace it with "@" or "9". Or when you want "i", just use "1". So in my case, "nina" can be written as "n1n@".
On a related note: I wonder if it's legally possible to change my name using that spelling... just so I'd see what it would look like on my diploma and passport... :) If that's the case, will it still be pronounced as "nina" or "nwanat" ? hhmmnn... probably the oldies will call me using the latter... hehehe...
So now I ask this mind-boggling question, ladies and gentlemen, why are you l33ting-up people's names? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it, as long as you don't call me "nwanat". I just really want to know why.
Are you afraid that some vain psychopath will search the web, looking for instances of his/her name, only to be led straight to your blog? Who would do such a thing?
Ok... fine...fine... there may be a handful of us out there... (vanity can be a bitch...)
But other than that, what purpose does it serve?
