Hello ... I am brand new to this forum and, candidly, know NOTHING (don't think) about gaming.

BUT.

Know a lot about computers and a friend of mine told me to post a message on a gaming board as a GAMER would know the answer to this question, NO ONE seems to know the answer to!

So, here goes ...

Example ... the word "example" can also by typed thus "3x4mpl3".

As can "india" be spelled "1nd14"

What is this style of writing called?

There has to be a verb ... or an adjective used to describe this.

ANYONE know?

Many thanks!!!

Robert

PS Would have started a new, relevant, thread, but couldn't find out how!
