## The story

It started on game forums, then spread to notes, lockers and occasionally graded assignments. E's became threes, A's became fours and the whole thing looked like a robot had a cold. Teachers were not amused when a vocabulary quiz came back fully encoded. A few, secretly, graded it anyway.

## Fun fact

The ultimate insult was being called a newbie, spelled with so many numbers it looked like a phone number.
