Hello Mr.Timothy,
On the net, arab youth use a combination of numbers
and apostrophies to represent letters that have no
equivelant in English:
7 = Ha (As in Marhaba)
'7 = Kha (As in Khareta---> Map)
6 = Ta' (As in Taweel---> Long)
'6 = Dha' (As in DHaher----> Apparent)
3 = Ain (As in Ain ---> Eye)
'3 = Ghain (As in Ghareeb---> Strange)
That's the Arabic transliteration used over the net (&
only over the net).

Best Regards,
Mohammed
