I don't know if I should even try, but garble is garble, whether you can read it or not...
I never understood why it was called "leet speak." As though substituting letters was some form of elite communication, when I'm far more impressed by proper grammar and punctuation anyways.
And in parts of the south Coke is the generic name for any soda. Just outside of Atlanta:
Me: "I'll have the pancakes & eggs combo."
Waitress: "What kind of Coke would you like with that?"
And witnessed at a local gas station while in FL:
"Grab me a Coke while you're in there."
"What's your flavor?"

Yeah, I lived my "formative" years in southern Louisiana (Morgan City and the surrounding area). I didn't notice the coke thing until I moved up here, went through a drive-thu, and asked for a coke. They never asked what I wanted, and I got a damn Coke. Took a few minutes for me to realize what had happened.
Around here you don't ask for a "pop" or a "soda", you ask for what you want. "I'll have a 7up to drink" not
"I'll have a pop"
"what kind?"
"I'll take a 7up"
Economy of words folks.

this hurts my head, it took me a few minutes to be able to read this garbage and now i will explode.
Makes me laugh when someone's interest is "peaked".
"To each their own" is good for another chuckle.
On another forum, I saw someone take something "for granite".
