A parent's primer to computer slang

A parent's primer to computer slang

Microsoft has put this out as a means of helping parents understand the new slang used by their tech savy children.

I'm always impressed by humanity's creativity when it comes to language both as a means of communication as well as a means of concealing communication from others. Language has always been connected with self identity as seen most prominantly in the role establishing a written language had upon the rise of national identity movements in Europe. The creativity demonstrated in the development of "Leet" as demonstrated in this article is really no different.
