I just read a pretty funny commentary on leet speak and its role in the media:
Just the fact that parents wouldn’t be able to decipher “plz” or “brb” seems urgent to me, but for more pressing and more deeply seeded reasons perhaps. YOU PARENTS DON’T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING YOUR CHILDREN ARE DOING/SAYING AT ALL TIMES! Thank you. via “Because Your Life Depends On it”
I can certainly relate to this – perhaps this paranoia is just all about being afraid that children will have secret lives.
