Ok, I thought this was a good read. It should be mandatory reading for all NS'ers.

I'm not gonna lie, I learned a lot from it....

I found this educational:

"The main characteristic of noob talk is to make numerous spelling mistakes and overuse common Internet slang. Some noob talk includes l33t characteristics, such replace "E" with "3" or "you" with "j00". It is easy to discern between "real" noob talk and "joke" noob talk. In many ways, this is similar to the 1980s B1FF postings on Usenet."

The following is the likely etymology of n00b:

1. newcomer (original word)
2. newbie (new person)
3. newby (variation of newbie)
4. newb (shortened version of newbie)
5. noob (a variant probably both for phonetics and Leetspeak, also sometimes used as slander)
6. n00b (Leet speak of "noob")
