While on playing online games, I came across people who who talked with words that has many numbers in them, and I can't make out what they are saying.

Possibly. In Net shorthand, sometimes people write "2" for "to", "4" for "for", "8" for "-ate" sounds as in "L8r" for "Later", and so on. Do you have an example of something you didn't understand? |

| I've learned that the kind on speaking I encountered on the net is called l33t talk. Some people are using it, so I want to learn more about it. |
