And how is it word of the year? Aren't they ten years late to the party?

So a dictionary has now made a word that uses numbers an official word. That's b.s.

Wow. That is pretty retarded. It may as well have been "pwned" or "teh" which are typos anyway.

Well they aren't always teh typos.

But yes, what next?

I read about this already. "Stupid" should be the word of the year, even if it's not new.

That should be word of the year every year.

Well, in all fairness, "truthiness" wasn't really a word either. But I guess this is just more egregious.
