Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

We should start a Nooblish - English Dictionary or maybe a phrase book.
How original!

If it already exists the least you could do is link to it.

Yes, but at the same time, YOU can't define it however you want.  Slang gets defined by its popular use.  Whether or not you disagree with the way it is used doesn't matter.

I described its popular use. The "Noob and Newb" are different is just a few people who are making things up.

Which, when you think about it, is the foundation of all slang.

All language for that matter...

Because slang definitely isn't just a few people who are making things up getting the thing they made up popularly used!  ::)

The difference is that your defining against what everyone else uses (or rather the vast majority) and holding it as priority.

I don't know about you, but I heard about the newb/noob split from the runescape webpage.  I'm assuming that they know what there were talking about, even if I don't like their game.
