ever notice?

have you ever noticed when looking through the "new posts" tab, there's always an Italian thread or two with aLtErNaTiNG CaPiTaL LeTTeRS and/or symbols and numbers in the words? like - 'c4nN4biS s3eD gR0\/\/'

just something i've always noticed during my time on IC and i've always wondered why it's mainly the italians that do that? lol.

any theories?

Best theory I got...no evidence except this same observation

For some reason Italians cant talk without making hand gestures, same barrier for digital communica, excessive smilies,memes and txt talk required to make a point & fully express themselves.

i'd agree with dank frank
think of it this way, if your internet is being spied on with word association spyware.... typing words the way you are describing in theory should slip past such things?
that's my theory anyways..... some peoples way of thinking they are making thier internet experience safer?
