w00t is NOT a word.

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.

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

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