millionth english word

I just read an article that they're adding the one millionth word to the english dictionary. Finally! what have they been waiting for? The problem is the words they are considering adding. "defriend" and "noob" are two in the running to the be the one millionth word.

are you serious?

how could they (whoever decides this) ever consider adding such ridiculous (dare i say) words. they must themselves be noobs. will noob be spelt with two zeros instead of o's? and dont even get me started on "defriend." come on. are you serious? "defriend"? can you picture it?

de-friend (verb) - to oust one of your friends on facebook

n00b (noun) - a derogetory term describing a person who is new to and/or is terrible at something
