One aspect of l33t sp34k is the swapping of numbers for letters.

When I first used the operating system UNIX around 18 years ago, it was an early version and upgrades introduced new security features, one of which was to restrict passwords in different ways, the most typical was to force a password to have at least one of an uppercase, lowercase and numeric character.

Consequently people simply replaced certain letters, like "3" for "e", and stuck to memoriable passwords, totally defeating the objective. So that angle on l33t has been around for a long time, probably longer as the UNIX features were normally nicked from other established operating systems.

There you go.

Teh is the most common typo under QWERTY. I do it by accident constantly myself.
