It's "elite" in 1337-speak, I believe.
Um, I probably shouldn't ask this for a variety of reasons :), but what is
"1337-speak"? Is it an actual computer language, or something even nerdier?
(Klingon-type thing?)

It's using numbers and special characters rather than letters.

It's not an actual "language" of any sorts, just the procedure of replacing letters with numbers and symbols and whatnot that more or less look like them (somewhat comparable to ASCII art in a way). 1!|<3 7|-|!5 (like this).
EDIT: Argh, I'm slow.
EDIT2: The number '3' spelled out in 1337 would actually be something like '7|-||233', I believe. But let's not get off-topic too much, shall we?

Why is that? I was even posting what I had written and just wanted to make it clear what Leet-Speak was, because TyTBone asked -o_-o
BTW, you used Leet-Speak yourself in your post:

That is the correct name for that language. LEET is not its name.

The word is 'leet'. Whether or not it is written in leet is another matter.
