i c4m 4Crss ths fre3 appL1C4t0n drNg 4 lt n16hT tWitTr v0Yg YSterdy... <--- we've all seen/known someone who msgs in this nature.... I find it annoying... Lol as hell and in fact HAVE deleted BBM buds just for msging in this style... And wtf is this style u may ask? I know I did, I thought it was just something that emerged w/aol... Ya know xAshley1983x seems like an easy enough screen name to achieved, but u try registering ANYTHING to it's likeness... Always a FAIL... So ppl had to get creative... That was my thinking...
Well apparently in Indonesia they are crediting an alleged 19 year old girl for this crazy style and have deemed it Allay...
"The word alay has no exact meaning or obvious derivation; it seems to have come out of nowhere.
However, it refers to something “tacky” and “cheesy” (norak or kampungan, in Indonesian). Alay is used to describe, critically, how certain people dress (like fashion victims), what kind of music they listen to (usually fans of Malay-sounding bands like ST 12, Wali or Kangen Band) and how they write things (they try to make words sound “cuter”, like replacing “home” with “humzz”)" phew, glad that was explained.... But not back to the 'creator'....
Ophi A. Bubu apparently caused quite a stir w/her text style receiving hate mail and harrassing wall posts which eventually ran poor Ophi off of FB where she, to this day, has yet to be seen.... Her last msg reading: 'jUd93 m3, BT K3p th3 vRdCt t0 yurS3Lf' (see article here: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2009/10/28/messing-with-letters.html )
Well, in note of her departure and MIA status, fan clubs in the form of twitter and FB pages have spring up all over, and so has this app which claims to mimic here style- Tulis Alay...

**YES the initial welcome from this app IS in Indonesian... But I never have been afraid to go continental... Lol. After u DL, u'll see the icon for it which u can just hide. Tulis Alay can be accessed at anytime from ur menu. Find 'Tulis Alay', type into the box, click 'Alay and copy' then the box disappears. From the u copy from ur clipboard (SHIFT + Track pad) and congrats! U've just been Alay'ed!**
