December 12, 200718 yr 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.
December 12, 200718 yr 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

December 12, 200718 yr Like an above poster said, woot means we owned other team. I believe it was first invented in the early days of Counter Strike. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.
December 12, 200718 yr Heh yea I was watching the news this morning and heard they were adding it to the dictionary. :
December 12, 200718 yr 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.
