Embraced Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thought you guys might like this: SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Expect cheers among hardcore online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Or, more accurately, expect them to "w00t." "W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's online poll for the word that best sums up 2007. Merriam-Webster's president, John Morse, said "w00t" was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology. "It shows a really interesting thing that's going on in language. It's a term that's arrived only because we're now communicating electronically with each other," Morse said. Gamers commonly substitute numbers and symbols for the letters they resemble, Morse says, creating what they call "l33t speak" ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢â∠P2P offers more and better ways of making money than f2p. That's one of the cons you just have to play with if you don't feel like having 1 bigmac meal less per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Only thing I can see wrong is that Purists should actually go \/\/007. leetspeak (13375p34k) is about using as little letters as possible. Quite a funny read though. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavi Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 w00t! They finally made it a word! I can't express the w00tiness of this issue. As much as I support good grammar, spelling etc., this still is a nice breakthrough. 'It won't last'? Yeah, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
