I've sparked quite the (little) argument here! And it's only my, what, 10th
post? Not even? I think Tony has a point here, 3GA, 3vil can't quite consider
themselves 1337 just by useing the 1337-5p34k "e". (I'm a gamer, and I'm quite
1337, thank you, so yeah). If you want to be 1337 why not spell it 3vi1? And
Tony, sull 1337 speak is considered nowadays as a sign of stupidity, but using
just the number/letter replacements is still good.
Well, I guess I'm just gonna go against the 3GA on this one, and keep on
pronouncing it "three-vil". Unless of course, the 3GA wants to bribe me to get
me to pronoune it "evil" ;).
