Microsft helping parents speak "l33t" (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidtalk.mspx)

Mistakes are often uncorrected. Common typing misspellings (or typos) such as "teh" instead of "the" are left uncorrected and may be adopted to replace the correct spelling.

What really made me laugh is the "Was this information useful?"  Question on the bottom.  I could imagine a parent reading their kids chat only for the kid to type "$t0P r34d1/\/g 0v3r my sh0uld3r 4nd gtfo."

I think they made up a lot of that on the spot.  I've never heard the word "greifers" in my life.  One of their other links encourage parents to teach their kids to download legally and directs you to a microsoft pay site!  Marketing RULES!  Wait...  \o/  +|-|3|)\3 \/\/3 60!

Yeah, no kidding, I can understand teh and stuff because sometimes when your typing really fast I get the order a bit off.  But numbers and all those symbols.. no way.  Definetly not a tactical advantage in any game.. ever.
