About Me
- Beth Gallaway
- Librarian. Mom. Foodie. I'm a librarian who owns an eBook reader and promotes videogaming as the next wave of storytelling. These days, I'm cooking a lot of things from scratch, writing book reviews, editing movie reviews, poking around farmer's market (and lately, eschewing them for going directly TO the farm) and thinking about a CSA for next year, stargazing, running around barefoot in the summer, putting things in Mason jars (dried herbs, flour bouquets, candied nuts, hot tea) and reading. I've stepped back from a wild and crazy travel-filled consultancy and sticking closer to home to raise my daughter (just when I got an invitation to speak in Mayalasia, darn it!)

That is good right there...i think that is some funny stuff that they put w00t into the dictionary!
This is a Dictionary for you folks out there wanting to know more about L33T L13R4R1!(Leet Library)
(l33t Speak Library!)
1 = L or I
2 = (Nothing...)
3 = E Or B (Mostly E)
4 = A
5 = S
6 = G (sometimes)
7 = T
8 = (ALSO...Nothing =D)
9 = P (like 9WNED!)
0 = O (hehe OBVIOUS!)
The Wikipedia article on leet is extremely helpul, with a table showing all the transliterations. As you can see, there are many variations for substituting - and 2 & 8 do get used! :)
