TVR, in retribution it seems, has instituted its own poll regarding w00t, to wit: W00t should be included in the next, the twelfth, edition of Merriam-Webster's. 0 If it is, I'll burn my copy. 0 Good Lord, I hope not. 0 Sure, why not? 0 W00t, w00t! here's a hotlink should you actually care to vote. - joe (it's in the free matter) friday p.s. - the results seem to give a good indication of TVR's.. <ahem> slant.

Tell that to the boys at TVR, eta -- btw the motto over there is "A society is as lax as its language." You get the picture.

I think we must be skewing their results. I wonder if this means that they'll soon shut down their poll?!
