The style became popular with people who often couldn't spell words properly, and now has turned into a "cool" method of social communication between people. It has now lost it's true meaning of pure sarcasm and people actually talk in this as if it's "cool". It is a pure usage of letters and manipulation of words to how it sounds when spoken through "speech".
[edit] Guide to Internet-Speak
- Misspell, abbreviate and substitute words with numbers to try to save time as often as possible, even if you must stop and spend time figuring out how to shorten the amount of time you spend typing. Grammatically the sentence makes no sense but you are to assume the addressee of teh sentence will instantly decipher and appreciate your more confusing version of talking.
- Never, ever spell things correctly. Failure to comply to this rule could lead to being branded a huge square as well as being blocked by 95% of your contact list.
