SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Expect cheers among hard-core online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year—or a big "w00t."
"W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.
Sweetness.
