Ah.  Didn't realise he was quoting.  I just saw it and knew that the 'a'
should really be represented by a 4.  It's part of that whole mixed case
and number thing.  I've never figured out the alternating case rules as
they seem obvious, but the rest of them are pretty obvious.

Spending a lot of time in gaming circles where 14-yr-old punks seem to be
the dominant force nowadays is an education in and of itself, sometimes.
Between IRC and gaming, I know more w4r3z and cell texting syntax and form
than I care to.  It's a sad statement that schoolkids are now submitting
term papers in these formats.  Read an article on this about 8-12 months
back.  That's just sad.

I'm a right bastard.  However, this works out fine because Life's a bitch,
and thus we get on splendidly.
