    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.
    "It could be after a triumph or for no reason at all," Merriam-Webster said.

    ...fuck

    i always wanted a new generation of english, the kind that is easier for retards who can't spell for shit

    Heh, I started a discussion on this in the Debate and Discourse section, but not many replies yet.

    Some good discussion about what a dictionary is actually supposed to be FOR and some other things though. Head on over there for the debate. =)

    I only break out the leet speak for when I truly feel like mocking something.

    And my god, does this deserve all the mockery in the world.

    A thousand of britains most sarcastic comedians couldn't mock this to justice.

    Oh God, w00t is bad enough, but who the hell spells it with zeros? I mean seriously I don't think I've seen it spelled like that outside of a random t-shirt. I don't think there is a word to describe how I feel right now. Its a mix of embarrassment, anger, and pity.
