What, like the Brits don't have colloquialisms that make little or no sense, but are nonetheless institutionalized in common speech? Please, spare me the grammatical indignance, nor the mention of negative stereotypes. If you wish to maintain your newfound standing as arbiter of English Usage and Syntax, I suggest you refrain from the use of such internet inanities as 'skwelrz' and 'newbie', as it undermines the very premise of your lofty pretension.
