This is worrying, I'm starting to understand it

I'm sure you mean "I could read the whole thing nearly as fast as normal text" with that

Yup that's a better way to describe it, but why is it called l33t speak, when you can quite clearly only write it?

Well you COULD speak it but you'd have to change it to,
'I get punched in the face every time I speak', speak.

You'd make Stephen Hawkings sound like he was on speed.
