Proper use of Newb/Noob/Nub 

Alot of people seem to confuse the different variations of the word Newbie, and don't realize the difference in meaning. A Newbie is a new player, a Newb is just a shortform for Newbie.
Example:
lvl 50: Hey
lvl 1: How do i kill stuff?
lvl 50: Newb!

would be correct, even though it would be kinda mean.

A Noob, and this is were people get confused, is not a Newb. Noobs are players who are usually very annoying because they make mistakes that a newb would make, even though they have been playing the game for a while. You can commonly see this in a pure powerleveler, or is common if someone aggros a group by mistake.

Example:
lvl 50: Dude WTF? We're resting, why are you aggroing more?
lvl 50(2): Woops!
lvl 50: Noob!

A Nub, isnt anything at all. Its just very fun to say;

Examples:

Nubcake Nubpie Nubs-on-a-plane Nubmachine Nubbot Nub-on-a-bun.



Anyways, i don't think this educated anyone, but it was sure fun to right.

In the next issue: Addressing Computer Slang and Leetspeak.


Not.


Anyways, l4t3r Nubs.

I just feel like saying that anytime someone talks about planes ...

Blasters kill everything, usually before they get killed themselves. When it comes to dealing pain, a blaster has no equal. We just have a hard time taking our own medicine! So we love Tanks and 'fenders!
