Will somebody please 'splain me something?
"TEH"

First few times I saw it, thought it was a typo, cos when you're going fast, sometimes your fingers don't always hit the keys in the right order.
But I've seen it so many times and places that it's GOT to be deliberate.

So...what izzit, why is it being used so much and how did it come about?

Thanks! :yourock:

3. Its such a common typo that many have taken to simply using it instead
Its rather common in 1337(Leet) speak as used by gamers and haxors.
