Leet words possibly indicating illegal activity:

"pwn": A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term that means to dominate. This could also be spelled "0\/\/n3d" or "pwn3d," among other variations. Online video game bullies or "griefers" often use this term.

WTF. *votes it down*

Yeah, I use 1337 when I set up all my drug deals and stuff. Too bad Microsoft is so quick that they caught on. Now that my parents can learn how to speak 1337, they'll surely realize all of my illegal and questionable activities on the internet.

2 :thumbsdown: for Microsoft.

Edit: Whoever types sploitz instead of exploits should be shot.

If you hit "NO" to "Did this article help you?" you get a nice feedback form where one of the options is "Information is incorrect."

Flame away. :evil:

I don't see anything under the "illegal activity" indicators that's drug-related, so you should still be good to go. :thumbsup:

Unless you refer to cocaine as "h4x" or something.

"ph": often replaces "f," as in "phear" for "fear" (as in "ph34r my l33t skillz") and vice versa, such as spelling "phonetic" as "f0|\|371(."

I bet someone wrote that entire article just so he could say that

Where do you think I've been for the past 10 minutes now? :evil:

To finish off the email, I put this line.
Any parents who take this seriously shouldn't be using computers, as it's very likely their Amish or lead Amish-like lifestyles, and it goes against their beliefs. That, or they're just idiots.
