Another nail in the coffin for the English language. And Americans wonder why foreign people want to blow them up. :rolleyes:

Thats a bit harsh lol.

God damn yanks messing up the English language.

Quote from That Moronic Article :

"People look for self-evident numeral-letter substitutions: 0 for O; 3 for E; 7 for T; and 4 for A," he said. "This is simply a different and more efficient way of representing the alphabetical character."

WHAT? How the hell is it more efficient? It's more difficult to read, takes longer to type. The only thing more efficient about 'l33t speak' is that it takes less time for the reader to realize that you are, in fact, a moron.

How can it be crowned a 'word', when it isn't even a word? (Since when do the numbers count as letters?)

The fact that dictionaries actually ADD such words and dumb phrases worries me. The "English language" would be fine if it kept it the same. The movie Idiocracy surely represents a reality for the future .

Great movie!

If Europeans would move to the USA we'd have the same issue

*waiting for someone to reply with "w00t"

Rish, I was just about to say that but I thought it'd be too childish

w00t111

Seriously if they were to add 'woot' to the dictionary then I'd understand it, but still think it's pretty sad that internet phrases can be considered words, if they're going to add it they could at least write it in English rather than l33t speak. How long will it be until Collins offer a translation of the dictionary in leet?

Sadly I sometimes have to wonder whether if that's the case, then that thought is almost always ended by some American on youtube doing something even dummer :doh:

Seriously, this is rediculous, next year it'll be "UB3R-P|/\||\|7!!!!"

If w00t is considered a word then there must be no way to spell a word wrong in the new english language.

Rappa you are a poetic genius.

And people need to stop complaining about America and Britain and the like. First they hate others, then they hate themselves.

And wow. Word of the year? THAT'S WHACK.
