I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for 1337. Call me old-fashioned if you

I have received so many diagrams in ASCII art that I've become immune to
ASCII atrocities. Note that this is a simple declaration, not an invitation
to try me on it :P

lol @ 'heathen glyphs'. I actually find 1337 really interesting from an

'I know what you're thinking, punk,' hissed Wordy Harry to his new editor,
'you're thinking, "Did he use six superfluous adjectives or only five?" -
and to tell the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement; but being as
this is English, the most powerful language in the world, whose subtle
nuances will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one
question: "Do I feel loquacious?" - well do you, punk?'
