辞書出版で有名なメリアム・ウェブスター社が、「今年の言葉」に"w00t"を選びました。
Dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's word of the year is "w00t*." Computer game players use this word when they win a game. "w007" is a stronger form of "w00t." This is part of a style of language called "l33t speak." "l33t" is pronounced "leet" and it is short for "elite." "Speak" means "language." It is a style often used by computer game players. One of its features is using numbers instead of letters. Merriam-Webster's word of the year is decided by an online survey. (AP)
* w00t は woot (we owned the other team)のooを数字のゼロ（0）に置き換えたもの。wootは勝利したときなどに使う感嘆詞。
