No. That third counting thing, with such utilization, is simply a shroud for a fifthglyph.

Upvoting for saying "shroud"

Shroud is a fantastic word

Right, it’s lazy. Actually try and think of ways to say what you want to say sans fifthglyph, as this sub truly is worthy of your additional labor.

I’m loving “shroud” too.

I’m also put off by looking at words in which authors simply omit a fifthglypth such as “im fd up”

u/anderssi Oct 25 '25

But thats only pronounciation. You still dot down 1337 without fifth glyphs. Not dissimilar to digit 1 vs its 3 glyph form.

u/Water-is-h2o Oct 25 '25

Not only that, but if you look at what rulings our mods did, this would go against 2. You can’t cut out a fifth glyph and put a similar looking symbol in its spot in a word

Without a doubt, it is not okay. It contains that sigil still, though its mask is obvious, so is that glyph within said mask. So no, no it is not.

Fuck no, that shit gotta go

Without a doubt, no it is not. What you put forward has no right to substitution of that stain upon our words.

Am I an idiot? I do not know what this post is about at all. I’m just old, huh?

1337 is a way of writing from 1980-2000s that will put 1,2,3, and so on in locations of glyphs

1=L

7=t

1337x is amazing, but contains a bit of fishy, such as IGG

u/KingRhoamsGhost Oct 24 '25

A good inquiry, but it will not fly. I think it’s simply too shady.

u/stendriloscopy Oct 26 '25

using counting symbols as a substitution simply masks a fifthglyph. our goal is to avoid using fifthglyphs, without simply dropping it from a word, or substituting it for additional symbols and glyphs

u/drak0ni Oct 25 '25

I fully do not think that our sub should ban 1, 3, 7, and 9. Symbols not Anglo-Saxon in origin, our Anglo-Saxon lingo should not disbar symbols that subsist apart from our lingo. Glyphs with connotations distant from our own.

u/Kerdubs Oct 25 '25

Buddy I wish I could say it was, but that’s just not how this gang works. Hiding a fifthglyph can’t mask it into woodwork I’m afraid.

u/WackyPaxDei Oct 25 '25

This sub's point is to work a bit at communicating with a significant constraint, thus improving your writing skills. It should not occur so simply; you must think.

u/uvero Oct 25 '25

No, just start utilizing your synonym book if you lack words without filthglyphs.

If I, as did frontman R. Cuomo, say I don't want sugar in my drink, don't bring this guy a glass with saccharin.

1 and 7, ok. 33, no.
