    I don’t think using one single antiquated character (just the one, because that makes sense) makes for a dialect.

      We’ve got a lot of people saying that swapping in either one or two antiquated characters makes it significantly difficult to read, if they don’t know how to interpret the characters.

      Maybe dialect is the wrong term, what would you call l33t sp34k?

      Thats a fairly close equivalent, though it swaps out more characters and also has its own vernacular, vocabulary.
