Mostly rubbish

I expect the historical points are correct, however repeated description of l33t speak as a language are rubbish and the idea it's unique in being unspeakable is laughable.

I'm no expect but from general knowledge I think the correct term would be cipher rather than code - though language is most certainly plain wrong.

It took me over five minutes to work out how to add this note. Shame the Beeb haven't heard of wiki. Did Douglas really want this? I would have thought he'd have preferred a wiki.
