Gearheads we may be, but some of us (not just me) get a little uptight about
language. English is the language of the list, although Irish breaks in very
occasionally, and the English language on this side of the Atlantic, we
don't tend to substitute numerals where there is a phonetic similarity to
the word being substituted, and the same would apply to deliberate
misspelling (at least, I hope you deliberately misspelled any as ne - if it
wasn't deliberate . . . . .)
Soryy if I come across as an old fuddy duddy - perhaps it's because I am. I
know some of the other objectors to this object to it because it's the mode
of writing favoured by warez doodz and script kiddies.
Kindest regards,
