I have a student who uses symbols which looks a lot like a 3 for every “e”, a number 6 for every “g” , and a 2 for every “a” when he writes. There are others, but this gives you an idea. He has a history of being gang affiliated, but would this be gang writing or just weird teenage stuff?
what the f***?
No, it’s ancient satanic cuneiform.
No its not it’s l33t he’s a dork.
No, I use a 3 for my ‘z’ sometimes just out of force of habit and laziness. Maybe he just thinks it’s ‘cool’ or looks good.
