    "w00t" crowned word of year by U.S. dictionary

    BOSTON (Reuters) - "w00t," an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary.

    Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster Inc. said "w00t" -- typically spelled with two zeros -- reflects a new direction in the American language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text-messaging.

    It's like saying "yay," the dictionary said.
    ________________________________________

    I haven't even heard the word "w00t", since I don't play any games.
    I think it's a wierd word to be in a dictionary, specially when there are two zeros in the word!

    In that case there are lots of other words that come to mind. Like "Yo" "cuz".
    Any other suggestions?

                                  Pretty funny considering the fact that I don't even consider that to be a word.

                                  I do enjoy the fact that they are saying this "reflects a new direction in the American language".

                                  Last I checked the language is called English. But I'll admit, only Americans are retarded enough to think that a)the language is called "American" and b) are the only people to think that "w00t" is a word in the first place, let alone a word worthy of any accolade other "the dumbest attempt at creating a new word ever (and yes we are aware of the word "hella"...this still wins) award"

                                  Anyways, w00t w00t, I'm out y'all. this thread is hella weak.

                                  ps. who let the dog's out anyways?

                                                                                          I do enjoy the fact that they are saying this "reflects a new direction in the American language".

                                                                                          Last I checked the language is called English. But I'll admit, only Americans are retarded enough to think that a)the language is called "American" and b) are the only people to think that "w00t" is a word in the first place, let alone a word worthy of any accolade other "the dumbest attempt at creating a new word ever (and yes we are aware of the word "hella"...this still wins) award"

                                                                                          Anyways, w00t w00t, I'm out y'all. this thread is hella weak.
