Apparently high schoolers in New Zealand may be able to get away with writing in internet speak and “leet speak” on — wait for it — not just school exams, but national exams as away of getting “part marks” for showing some level of knowledge on a particular subject.
To be honest, I’m having a hard time telling if this represents exactly how technologically advanced New Zealand is, or, is if it (like the introduction of Ebonics in some schools in the States) represents yet another milestone in the decline of Western Civilization.
Is it awesome, or teh suck? Conversate! :)
