I detest the misuse of their, there and they're.

I really hate it when they use the generic "they" to refer to things that they don't like, but you don't see me misusing it or complaining about them doing that.

I love the irony in this thread!

nOOb is entirely devised from internet chat rooms shortening the word newbie, itself a slang term for newcomer on internet chat rooms.

Neither were real words and can therefore be spelled however you want.

New words come into the english language all of the time and regional spelling also evolve. So what. Do you know what "to google" means as a verb rather than the name of a company? Yes. Therefore it is probably right it enters the dictionay.

Gosh yeah that's true!!!! Some of the stupidest people who don't know squat diddly about something get the executive jobs and everything just because they knew someone in a high position.

Ditto the dog crap comment!

While we're at it, how about let's talk punctuation, or lack thereof? I get out of breath reading a whole paragraph's worth of words crammed into one sentence without punctuations whatsoever. (Yes, you know who you are.) I hate this more than misspelling of a made-up word.

Dont let the panda eat, shoot, and leave.
