Letters 2 Numbers: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* The second season of ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' is titled ''[[Rosario + Vampire]] Capu2'', a play on the onomatopoeia "kapuchuu~" ("two" in Japanese sounds like "chuu").

 

* [[WE 3]] is a pretty straightforward one.

** Was it supposed to be anything other than We Three? '''Wee'''?

 

== F1lm ==

* [[Final Destination|5nal Destination]]

* ''[[Five Days to Midnight|5ive Days to Midnight]]'', a 2004 sci-fi miniseries which reads weirdly ("sive?" "five-ive?")

 

== Liter4ture ==

* A children's book has a character named Susan who changes her name to, well, the title says it all: ''My Name is Sus5an Smith. The 5 is Silent. ''

* ''[[Snow Crash]]'' has a minor character named Da5id. (Roman numerals, you see.)

* Not actually in the book, but on the cover of ''[[Thirteen Reasons Why]]'', the title is often spelled "Th1rteen R3asons Why".

 

== Live-Acti0n TV ==

* In the ''Back to Earth'' miniseries for ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', the license plate on the ''Starbug'' automobile reads ST4R BUG. In a bonus webisode, Chris Barrie comments "You know what I always say? Wanna tell people you're a pillock? Get a personalised number plate."

* abc has Reven8e (Reven-eight-e?)

 

== Mu5ic ==

* In ''Godzilla: Monster of Monsters!'', most of the cheat codes are phrases with the first letter O replaced with a zero.

 

* AIs in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' sometimes use numbers to substitute for letters, and even whole syllables, in their names; for example, "5er0" (pronounced "Ver-None") instead of Vernon.

* There's a site called [https://web.archive.org/web/20130218025434/http://www.squirrelworks.com/ Squirrelworks] that does this as well as often invoking [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|z for plural s and other text speak]] especially in their main comic ''Coz/Effect''.

* Many of the trolls in ''[[Homestuck]]'' do this, usually in a way that fits into some sort of [[Numerological Motif]].

** One particular fancomic, ''[[A Complete Waste of Time]]'', has a character with an inventive use for this trope. Rick's typing quirk consists of him replacing the first letter of a word with a numeral (from zero to ten) whose initial phoneme(s) most closely resembles the word's. {{color|#ff8000|7o 4or 8xample, 3hese 1ords}} were most likely written by him.

 

== Web Ori6inal ==

* [http://www.rinkworks.com/slapdash/nocalc.shtml Words You Can't Write With a Calculator].

* ([[NSFW]]) [http://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/1f-u-c4n-r34d-th15-u-r34lly-n33d-t0-g37-l41d/ 1f u c4n r34d th15 u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d].
