	Slang - is a very informal language that is usually spoken rather than written, used especially by particular groups of people (“Slang,” 2021). In other words, slang is a type of language commonly used by members of particular groups and which may have other or no meaning at all when taken out of context. Slang can also be used to establish group identity and exclude outsiders.

	Leetspeak can also be subdivided into levels based on how obfuscated the text is. Basic leet consists of replacing certain vowels with numbers and is easily readable by an ordinary person. Here is an example of a basic leet: “0nly s0m3 l3tt3rs 4r3 r3pl4c3d” (“Only some letters are replaced”). Replacing more letters, including consonants, with numbers leads to the intermediate level of leetspeak: “c0n50n4n7s 4r3 r3p14c3d 45 w311” (“Consonants are replaced as well”). Finally, the advanced level of leet brings in even more replacements, including several replacements for one letter.
