From the
Register:
The intention behind it may be good, and who can blame parents for wanting to make sure their kids are safe online? But the whole thing conjures up images of middle class parents trying to converse with their children in "leetspeak" over breakfast:
"So, I heard Mr. McKenzie really, erm, owned your last math class"
"Whut?"
"The homework he sets really needs some, um, mad skills, to complete it?"
"Mmph?"
"Nevermind dear. Have a leet day."
"Whatever." ®
