That's not what "Xenophobic" refers to, it deals specifically with nationalism. Enforcing proper English vs leetspeak or AAVE isn't a nationalistic endeavor. I'm relatively certain leetspeak originated in the US and AAVE has "American" in the acronym, so I'm going to guess it too originated here.

Is that the dictionary definition, chief? language is an evolving thing.

Or are you gonna make people pronounce the word 'jiff'?
