But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

No. Your calculator "oh hell" would be "ttea ao" in 1337 speak.

Inate Leetspeak?
Not sure that even makes sense but, thats what it looked like.

Owned = common misspelling of the 'word' pwned. As in a Pawn in chess.

Looking again i think i may say 'I hate leetspeak'.

And so do I, sounds awful when people actually speak like this.
