'Web 2.0' Declared Millionth Word In The English Language
"Web 2.0" was just inaugurated as the English language's one millionth word. Which is, well, totally retarded. We're totally not accepting that in Scrabble. Buzzfeed sums up our opinion on this matter to a tee.
1. It's not a fucking word
It's a phrase. Not only is it a phrase - it's a phrase with two numbers and a goddamn decimal point in it [....]2. It doesn't MEAN anything
One of the things about words is that they're supposed to mean things. It's why we have dictionaries. Web 2.0 is something that you say at marketing conferences in, like, 2004, so that the other marketing professionals from the early 2000s will give you their business cards [....]4. The other candidate was going to have been “n00b”
I'm not kidding. That would at least have been hilarious. 'Cuz, like, when grownups came up to me and said, “Please, sir, could you tell me what is a n00b?” I could have just said “Look in the mirror, n00b.” And then punched them in the grundle.5. It will only encourage them
Now that they have been officially validated, the bastards are going to start saying “Web 3.0.” I just know it. And then where will we be?
