And Teh, is just a little bit of fun, right? We can still say Teh, but not on a regular basis? I think I'm going to adopt Teh.

I usely don't spell right, but most of the time I do. Like if I do use, 4=for, to say something. It would be because I was in a hurry. The later on, I would edit the post.

Well, you obviously can't do that anymore. If you don't have the time to post intelligently, then don't post until you do.

And BH4, "teh" is exactly the same number of keystrokes as "the". Besides, it's just a really cool word. =)

Teh. Teh. Teh. Teh. ^_^

Wouldn't it be much more efficient to just take a fraction of a second to type an extra two keystrokes than have to come back later, browse to the post, and edit it?

How many times are people going to ask this?

This rule only applies to deliberate shorthand as explained above.

I don't know if anybody has asked this but what about

lol and j/k

[ShadowTiger]

I think that J/K should definitely be allowed, as it has a very practical purpose. But lol, well, there's a smily for that.

Acronyms are perfectly fine.

[ShadowTiger]

ooh. Thread revival. Well, you're correct, some 'fake-leet-speak' is slightly acceptable, so long as people know that you're being somewhat serious when you speak, but indeed, the latter is against teh law.
