If you see people saying things like 1337 or |-|4X0r, what they really mean is a word that has been changed by successive uses by people who don't know how to spell. And some think it's sort of cool or write weirdly. For instance:

1337
L337
LEE7
LEET
'LEET
ELITE

(31337 -> ELEET -> ELITE)

So people mis-spell it and swap letters for numbers and symbols which bear a superficial resemblance.

|-|4X0r

H4X0r
HAX0r
HAXOr
HAXOR
HACKS-ER
HACKER


etc.
we should have a contest to see
who can spell hacker the most ways

the person who can spell it the most ways
wins the title of being the "1337357 |-|4cK0r"

mahaha ph33r /\/\y /\/\4D 5ki11s
