    Both words that come from different roots entirely. Noob/nub/n00b/newb are all shortened slangs of Newbie.

    Your point?

    My point was spelling does matter.
    n00b and newbie hail from different parts too. You seemed to forget this while you didn't consider my point.

    Spelling matters when you are using homophones, yes. Great point. Nothing to do with what someone intends when spouting "newb" variants online. Spelling can change based on experience, region, age, game, the list goes on. They don't have actual defined meanings or complex linguistic roots. They mean what you mean them to mean and that can be generally extrapolated by context.
    What "parts" do they hail from? What linguistic roots do they have besides leetspeak bastardization of English characters?

    This is a manufactured pedantic circle-fluff.
