I just saw a phrase on the internet which said, "you are already 2n6w". What in the world does "2n6w"  mean?

It's similar to this:

Quote
5t d5dn't w6r2 t6 restart 0y c60*4ter, b4t than2s f6r the s4ggest56n. And at 3east s60e6ne can 4nderstand what 5'0 say5ng, g66d w6r2 16sh! the b3an2 5n the f5rst *aragra*h 5s a *6rtab3e c60*4ter... 3a*t6*! Anyh6w than2 y64 16sh... any6ne 2n6w what t6 d6+

doesn't it make sense?  :o  You can do it too, if you have a laptop without a separate number pad, turn on the number pad on the letters and it does it for you (for the most part)  ;D

Then wouldn't it be 'r0xz'?  'r0xorz' sounds more like 'rockzors', which makes no sense.

I know, it doesn't make sense... I don't speak l33t... I'm just copying what I see, and I always see 'r0xorz'.

I dunno.

Here's one I really don't get: 'the big 111.'  What does 'The big 111' mean?

Example:

"r0xorz th3 big 111 d00d!"

Gentlemen... you are now observing the decline and fall of the English language as she is now written and spoken. Nothing grates me more than leet-speak. Total and utter laziness in the grammar and spelling department.

Showing my age, huh? (42.) ;D
