In other news...

The good people at Webster's have chosen their "Word Of The Year."

Reuters has an article about it, and, of course, you can see the official announcement over at m-w.com.

So what is the word?

W00t!

No, really. It's "w00t." Which they have correctly spelled with two zeroes.

What can I say?

Uhm... "W00t!"?

Well, in this case, you're using 0 instead of o. It's a 1-to-1 substitution, so technically neither one is more efficient. Or, yeah, I guess o would be more efficient since the reader doesn't have to pause and decipher it.

On the other hand, l8r is more efficient because the 8 substitutes for three whole letters.
