There are numerous proposed explanations (cf. Wikipedia on the matter: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/w00t#Etymology ), with so little evidence pointing the way towards a single correct one that it seems rather silly to assert one specific origin.

Thanks! I wonder whether anyone has any opinion on the appropriateness of justified vs flush left etc. for online type? Is there a general rule of thumb for what looks/reads best? Also, is there a danger of something about typography getting lost in the online environment? I'm not a type expert, but I am interested and I work for a website and (maybe it's just this company) but the designers give me the impression that type choice isn't really that important and that those decisions are mainly for print... Great article— jam-packed as usual. Thanks!

The change is hardly noticeable, yet completely renewed. It also seems almost invisible until you focus on it, which is a good thing. It's easier to quickly scan through as well. I think it also helps the overall design, since you immediately get the idea that red is used primarily for emphasis, rather than a color for the links. For a long term user like me it’s perfect.
