I thought that Defense and defence is like advice and advise..By the way..you could post the ...what's it called.. "etc." and "vs." and what do they mean and so on..

Surely it's defence instead of defense. English comes from England after all. Americans originate from England. Therefore the original spelling of it would be defence, before America gained its independance and became it's own country, maybe changing some spellings over time.
There're too many spelling differences and word usages between British and American English, I can't explain them all. However, I'd gladly explain upon request.

Gamer phrases and "leet" speak don't exist in the official English language. They're slangs and abbreviations created for quick communication.
Although some might argue that recently certain words of popular usage have made it into the Oxford English Dictionary but that's just the way English is - it evolves and expands as some words become redundant and some become so frequently used it's considered official.
I don't encourage "leet" speak because I think it conflicts with normal spoken and written English. Some people might use the excuses "can't be bothered" or "takes too long", it never takes too long to learn and use correct grammar.
I'm afraid I can't possibly list and explain all forms of gamer phrases as well as their deviations, since I disregard them as proper English.
