Textspeak?

I just saw this Facebook status and wanted to record it:

It's in Spanish and in text-speak.  The zeroes are O's, the ones are I's, threes are E's, the fours are A's and the fives are S's.  In regular Spanish it reads as such:

Este pequeño texto sirve apenas para demonstrar como nuestra cabeza puede hacer cosas impresionantes! Pon atencion! Al principio estaba medio complicado, pero en esta linea su mente va decifrando el codigo casi automaticamente, sim pensar mucho, cierto? Puede quedar bien orgulloso de esto! Su capacidad merece unas felicitaciones

Translated into English without the use of any dictionary because I'm lazy (although translating it kind of negates the message):

This little text serves to demonstrate how our brain can do amazing things! Pay attencion! At the beginning it was kind of hard, but in this line your mind is decoding almost automatically, without thinking much, right? You should be really proud of this! Congratulations for having such mental capacity.

Amusing, to consider the layers of language, the way communication has changed so much.  The message actually rings true for me in that as I continued reading the passage it became easier to read despite the fact that it was in Spanish and had five letters substituted for numbers.  It reminds me of this "brain teaser":
