They're the people responsible for the American English spelling that you & I love to hate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_American_Dictionary_of_the_English_Language

T'is but a bit late for w00t to be the word of the year now. Worst possible choice ever.

You mean the fine folks that produce Webster's Dictionary are NOT the epitome of trendy pop culture?  :)

I think the word for the year should be "Britney", as in "pull a Britney".

Paris wouldnt look bad in that field either.

Paris Hilton is a big joke........

True, but apparently "pull a Britney" has actually entered the slang lexicon... I think the whole business is pretty stupid...it amazes me.  

I'm a Nintendo (mostly) gamer (not hard core) and I play a lot online with friends but I don't believe I have ever said "w00t". Just say it out loud...what a stupid word. [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
