I read something yesterday saying that n00b was the 999,998th word and that "Financial Tsunami" "Web 2.0" was the millionth. I'm sure it was on the Escapist, I'll see if I can dig up links. Either way, I'm with Claws and want pwnd in there. edit - Thar she blows |

Yeah, but apparently we think a letter that contains numbers is a word?

Ironic that the interviewer was trying to make americans look stupid and yet one of the first things he says is "the reality couldn't be further from the truth." |

I wonder if there's actually 1% of the english speaking population who knows what a n00b is?
No wonder your language grows so large if you officialize every slang word and minority expression :p

As opposed to combining old words into one really long one and then say it's a new word? |
