There’s no better way to demonstrate your mad hacker skills than by replacing
letters in your text with numbers: m4d h4x0r 5k1llz!!! This word program
automatically converts plain English into leetspeak, the coolest way to talk
online. Or at least it was in 1993.

It takes a while to get used to, but with some practice, you’ll eventually be
able to read leetspeak fluently. For example, `1t +@]<3s 4 w|-|1le +o g37
|_|s3|) 70, b|_|+ y0u (an 3\/3nt|_|/-\lly r3a|) l33t$peak phl|_|3n+ly`.
Leetspeak may be hard to read at first, but the program itself is simple and
good for beginners. More information about leetspeak can be found at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet.
