(Pronounced "new-ber-tee")
Noun
The transition in which a n00blet will become a full-fledged n00b. N00berty is most common in n00blets ages 13-15, though this statistic is not true for everybody; some n00blets may only hit n00berty around the ages of 18 and 19.
N00berty is much like puberty, as it will usually last until adulthood. However, unlike puberty, it is most common to happen to males first.

Common symptoms caused by n00berty are:
1. Shorter attention span.
2. Increased spelling errors. (more then the common n00b/n00blet)
3. High-pitched voices.
4. Increased use of the number 1 instead of exclamation marks.
5. Excessive use of "OMG", "WTF", and "LOL".
(These symptoms usually last until the transition is complete.)
