my biggest gripe with forums is people who use chatroom slang, because it "R0X0RS!1!!". Some people don't understand that a forum is place of messages for anyone to see, and many people (especially people who don't speak english very well) don't understand such sentances like. " fink its well kewl cus shes real fit." Many words, like kewl, aren't abbreviations, they're just annoying spellings that the writer seems to think is "cool". I don't mind it when people are joking around, and using chat room slang to convey a meaning, such as their dislike of chatroom slang users. I alsao hate 31337 users. Why people go "I AM DA L3370RS OF J001! ALL, I ROX0RS J0O0!11" for is beyond me.
That particular sentance would translate as (literally) "I am the elitest of you all, I rock you!". It's kinda pathetic really especially as I've heard that exact sentance said on various "forums".

Another dictionary/thesaurus/translator online for free, which is pretty useful is at www.dictionary.com.
