Not very prominent here, but they still make an appearance on occasion. They aren't dangerous; merely annoying.
Seriously... if typing "y" and "o" are going to kill you, then I'll personally pay for your funeral. That is all. Have a nice day.

@Mansonfreak: You failed to type our "u" instead of "you". No funeral payments for you. :P

I've byouilt a program that solves yoyour problem. It changes each youse of 'you' into 'yoyou'.
I'll youpdate it soon to also fix 'r' into 'are' and 'c' into 'see'.
Maybe it coyould be added to the chat?
I'm yousing it right now to see if it works.

It would be delightful, Bast, if you would not encourage such outrageousness. ;)
That little wolf pack could use the help! :)

Reminds me of that Mark Twain skit on the de-evolution of English
If there ever was a word that could use less vowels, it would have to be.....outrageousness!

You could just counter the leet speakers by developing your own brand of English which uses even larger words then standard English. That, or you could just wait a year or two for them to forget what proper grammar and spelling they do know. That is when you can start to plot their demise without their knowing.
