Every year Webster dictionary picks one word that sums up the year, and yes this year word is w00t! Webster dictionary describes w00t:

“W00t,” a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness, topped all other terms in the Springfield dictionary publisher’s online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.

Heres what Webster President John Morse had to say about w00t:

“w00t” was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology. It shows a really interesting thing that’s going on in language. It’s a term that’s arrived only because we’re now communicating electronically with each other,”

Alright how many of you out there have used the word w00t? Lets see a show of hands. I know probably at least half of you are at fault for w00t being the word of the year, you should be ashamed of yourself. Also, just a side not the word of the year last year was, Truthiness.
