"n00b" Beaten Out as One Millionth Word

[ThrobbingEgo]

"Web 2.0" is such a 2001 term.

 

[Cousin_IT]

so word 1million is, infact, a word + a number & word number 1,000,001 is 2 words? They cant be trying very hard.

 

[VitalSigns]

The word N00b makes my blood boil! it the lamest insult possible, it is said so often and in such rapid succession that it has lost all meaning. NOOB NUB NOOBLET NUBBER, Just shut up, ALSO how is it an insult to be new to something? I never understood this. in Place of N00BZ i tend to call people Amateurs on games, really seems to get to them.

You stole my thread. grrrr

 

[Sir Ollie]

Well Delia smith is in the dictionary but this wtf?

 

[Bagaloo]

Financial Tsunami?
THAT'S TWO ALREADY EXISTING WORDS FORMING A PHRASE.

And don't even get me started on including numbers as a word.

 

[Anachronism]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm relatively certain "financial tsunami" is two words. As is Web 2.0. Actually, that's not even two words; it's a word and a number. What the hell are these people doing?

 

[Daveman]

This just makes scrabble so much easier. Except when the words have numberrs in them...

 

[smithy_2045]

They're getting silly now.

Oh who am I kdding, it was always silly.

 

[Nomad]

You can't have frickin' numbers in a word!!
It's just wrong.

This. Isn't it more a phrase?

My thoughts exactly. A word usually doesn't contain spaces.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

Before this, I had no idea that "Web 2.0" was considered one word, and actually had a meaning beyond the sum of its the individuals. I hereby judge this so called dictionary illegitimate.

 

[rekabdarb]

shouldn't it be newb... since isn't that the original writing of it? people just got lazy and said noob instead because their fingers moved less

 

[Eruanno]

Its scary to admit I would rather have "noob" as the one millionth word rather than "Web 2.0". But only barely.

Calling Web 2.0 a word is roughly equivalent to calling an entire word a letter.

 

[Dogstile]

come on, they put numbers in words?

 

[ArcadianTrance]

You know, it used to make sense to me that "aint" wasn't a word, but after seeing these "words" get through it just doesn't anymore...

 

[Brotherofwill]

That isn't a word. Financial tsunami is even less of a word.

 

[Fingerprint]

I only heard "web 2.0" for the first time today... Hmm.

But hey, I'm just glad "n00b" isn't officially in the language yet - god, I hate that... that... abomination.

No, Noob and Newb are two completely different things.
Scroll up a bit, there's an urban dictionary definition of the two.
