Funny that I just learned the term "leetspeak" a few months ago, and now find out it's responsible for creation of the 2007 Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year.
I knew the term "w00t!"...I've even been using it, and spelling it, correctly for some time now, and I knew it had it's origins in gaming. But I didn't know until the M-W announcement that it's origin was in leetspeak (or, as I later learned, properly called 1337 speak.)
