And the IMglish contest winner is ....

... TagBagger who spotted the challenge and ran the skill-testing IM-isms through Google to produce the correct answers.

CUL8R - see you later
WDALYIC - who died and left you in charge

"Do I win?" the winner said in post comments. "I PWN! All your acronyms are belong to us! TagBagger Rulez!" He later added that his IMism are "L33Tsp3ak you n00b."

A committee was struck to consider whether the winner should be disqualified by his rather bold claim to "elite speak" (L33Tsp3ak in IMglish) and by calling contest organizers "nobs" (n00b in IMglish). It was determined that the contest fine print contained no rules against triumphalism or referring to contest organizers as "nobs." The prize winner remains eligible.

And the grand prize is this one-time community-service free advertisement for TagBagger:
