often is used to insert the letters to create a string of mysterious as a password or a
mathematical formula (as m8 = mate). The number or be used as 1, 2, 4, 8, where the numbers 1, 2, 4 is often used
instead of a word (one, two / to / too, and four / for), and 8 are used instead of part of the word (as w8 = w + ie weight or
wait Eight; or l8r = l + + r = Eight later - that is fully occupied naughty talk, right?) Here are some common words and
