    Don't expect it to show up in official government documentation anytime soon.

    Merriam-Webster President John Morse said "w00t" reflected the growing use of numeric keyboards to type words.

    "People look for self-evident numeral-letter substitutions: 0 for O; 3 for E; 7 for T; and 4 for A," he said. "This is simply a different and more efficient way of representing the alphabetical character."
    Yes. '3' is much more efficient than 'E'.

    Global Language Monitor, which uses an algorithm to track words and phrases in the media and on the Internet, said "hybrid" had broad connotations of "all things green from biodiesel to wearing clothes made of soy to global warming."
    What a load of pretentious rubbish.

    Yes you dont have to type Shift+E to make a capitol "E". So it is more efficient
