I don't really ever use it, because I'm mature. But if I did I would spell it Newb. It's just what's correct :P

There's no poll, but when I do use it I use newb. It's not fun being a newbie. :cry:

I only ever spell it in binary ASCII notation. That way, they doubly don't know what I'm talking about.

There are differences between "newb" and "noob", actually. A newb is someone who is new to the game/internet and is just learning the basics. A noob indicates uselessness and is rather ignorant. No one likes those guys.

n00b.

I don't understand the use of "nub"; at the very least give it an umlaut so it's "nüb" and can be pronounced correctly. :P

I just use 'noob'. But if it's in a positive context, I use 'nooblet' or 'newbie'.

I don't use it...everyone starts somewhere, so the term isn't fair.

People like to throw that term around, yet I see people > Level 20 asking the same questions a Level 1 would.:lol:

The doctor wants to induce labor in a next few days if she doesn't go into labor by then. Thankfully I'm on sick leave until my back gets better(pinched a nerve).

I'm familiar with that (chronic nerve pain from a vehicle accident). Better have that looked at.

Health insurance should cover a visit to a pain specialist...I go to one.

I'm sure they do, but I had to wait a day and my back was REALLY hurting me yesterday. I could barely move. My wife had to drive me.

Newb is different from noob. A newb is a newbie ie someone new to something, doesn't mean he is a noob ie rubbish at doing something. Where as a noob can be a noob even if he is not a newb (newbie). He may have been playing for a long time.
