The English Language Finally Catches Up
by Wyatt WalterWell, the rest of the world seems to have finally caught up with whatan00b. Media outlets have reported that it’s being estimated by the Global Language Monitor (GLM) that the one millionth word will be added to the English dictionary on June 10, 2009. The word? “noob”! This is exciting news for whatan00b since its whole existence is based upon.. well n00bs existing.
“noob” is one of several words vying for the position. A word is added to the dictionary when the GLM has on record 25,000 uses of it in media outlets. If one counts forum posts and some other outlets online, I can’t imagine that it’s lower than 25,000, but it’s nice that noob will finally get the recognition it deserves. As the author of this forum post says “Now gaming culture has “pwned” the English Dictionary.” It’s just too bad that the word wasn’t recognized when there was 25,000 n00bs in existence, rather than how many times it was used. We would’ve had a word a long time ago..
