What Is The Difference Between Newb and Noob?

    This word annoys the shizznits out of me.  I can't stand it when people call others a "noob" when they mean "newb".  People always say, "There's no difference".  Well there is a difference.  I have said this so many times, but this time, I found a site that explained it also.

    First, I shall explain.  The word "noob" is an insult.  People think that it means the same thing as a "newb" which is a beginner.  They say, "Same meaning; different spelling."  They are not the same meaning.  If they meant the same thing, why are there two different words?  Using the word "noob" is really harsh, while the term "newb" isn't.  In fact, "noob" isn't even a real word.

    The person gave a perfect answer.  That's exactly what "noob" and "newb" means.  So the next time you're about to use the word "noob" or say that they're the same meaning, think again.

    Also, why are you insulting other people when you were once a beginner too?  We didn't all start as Pros.  Playing a game takes time to get better at.  We were all once "newbs", and I'm not trying to be harsh here, but stuck-up "experts" need to get over themselves.
