Oh just doing free advertising. This one is a lot better than the last one – The Burglish Conversion.
This picks up the similar words and also convert simple English words.

Next Generation Burglish Chat with Burglish to Burmese Input Method – Testing Version v0.1.0821

Test is here. www.Burglish.com

http://www.soemin.net/php/chat3/

There is no intro or proper write up about the program yet, cos’ just out yesterday or so. The developer is a friend of mine, Ko Soe Min (Mark), you might see him around in some of my post comments.

The Burglish conversion there is very cool, the methods are very similar to those of Chinese and Japanese language packs. Ko Soe Min is very smart in Japanese Language so I guess he got the idea from there. I saw some of my Chinese friends uses their language installer and type in English which picks up Chinese characters and get the best match from it. This Burglish chat works in exact same way, it’s very fast and easy to use. But you need Firefox 1.5.

I’m just loving it. My bro and some of my friends who tested it also give a good thumb ups.
Excellent work Ako. It would be nice if you do a bit of intro write up and explain about it. Here I am spreading the good words, mont kwe oo naw. hehe.

A friend of mine said something about me being 1337 and I was confused by his usage. My first thought was he calling me old, or some kind of centuries beings. So I simply asked him what that means and he forwarded me this interesting wiki article on 1337 – leet. After reading it, then only I know he was complimenting me(I think). What an idiot I am.
The article was a good read and I learnt lots of new terms from it so here I am sharing with you. May be you already know about it but for those who don’t know can take note of it.

Leet (or 1337, l33t, l33+, etc, derived from the word “Elite”) is a linguistic phenomenon associated with the underground culture centered on telecommunications, manifested primarily on the Internet, and is especially prevalent in gaming (as in video games) communities.

The name Leet itself is derived from the word elite (also 31337). Elite has been used in the past to designate a group of users as belonging to a higher social echelon than other users. Originally, elite had been reduced to one syllable, leet.

Because of this derivation from the word elite, calling someone or something leet may be considered a compliment, although it is also used in an ironic derogatory manner

There are lots of symbolic meaning involve in each numbers and characters that you can use them to form totally new culture/language. Most of those fancy words are used on chats to shorten the words to achieve faster message delivery. For example, the very basic or well known usage of chat short-hands are g8, l8ter, brb, gtg, ltns, etc (ok, that’s all I know. :d)

Leet finds its base in written communication over electronic media. Most simply, it has evolved as a way of forming exclusive cliques in on-line communities, notably Bulletin Board Systems and online multiplayer games

…using Leet in discussion has become a bit of a novelty or joke. Users have begun using Leet to indicate that they are part of the Leet-using counterculture, or to mock the existence thereof.

It’s very interesting that the whole 26 English characters can be formed by different types of Leet phrases. I read on and on about the usage of “x0r” and “z0r”, having a grammar etc. Then I got to this section, kekeke, I was so surprised to find that it actually came from some expression language, and not a made up girlish laugh. I was also surprised to find out that there are lots of funny words to express laughter in different culture. Think about you typing your laugh as “hahaha”, you go, “jajaja” “hoh-hoh-hoh”, “fufufu”, “hu hu hu”. LOL Oh Gosh, when some of my friends type “kekeke” as their laugh, I was thinking they must be crazy. It’s quite alrite to hear “kekeke” from a girl but when I hear “kekeke” from a guy, I just want to give him one big slap; I just can’t stand that kind of laugh from a guy. LOL

The expression “kekeke” is widely believed to have come from Koreans. In the Korean language, people expressed laughter in writing by repeating the letter “ㅋ” (Korean letter for the hard k [as opposed to the g or soft k, "ㄱ"], called 키읔 or “kieuk”) many times over. Since early versions of StarCraft did not allow players to write in Hangul (the name of the Korean writing system), Koreans would romanize their language. Hence, kekeke was born. The phrase is an onomatopoetic Korean phrase similar to the English “hahaha”, Spanish “jajaja,” French “hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh,” or Japanese “fufufu”

Some English speakers use “kekeke” as a form of laughing, similar to giggling although it is still primarily used by Korean speakers.

Kekeke is also used as an evil laugh and is used by players using devious tactics and/or playing evil characters.

Check out these examples of leet in action:

(This is an example of leet at its finest. I will take this opportunity to remind you that you should always get your kids pet spayed or neutered. Never leave home without a towel. And no matter what they say, there is no cow level.)

So yah, have a read through this article and I’m sure you’ll find it quite facinating.
Thanks Forlani for the tip and the link: Leet

I’m so loving the new gtalk features.
I got the new features a few days back and just today I got time to check them out properly.

We’ve been working hard to add your top-requested features to Google Talk, such as fast and reliable file transfer, and the ability to send and receive voicemail messages for free. We’ve even created a fun little feature for you music lovers.

So today, we’re excited to be releasing these features to a small percentage of Google Talk users. We’ll be rolling these features out to all Google Talk users on the U.S.-English interface in the coming weeks.
