How do you Pronounce "pwned"?

Since it is of textual (more like typographical error) origins, it doesn't really have an official pronunciation so most people just make up their way of pronouncing it and defend that as the correct way. I personally pronounce it as owned with a p in front.

Like I said, once you choose your way of saying it you become convinced that that's the correct way. P.S: Why do you bitchslap your brother for that?

The word PWN came from the word OWN. Basically, it is actually "owm" because the "P" in PWN is a typo.Pretty much because "O" and "P" are right beside each other on the keyboard. ANd oftenly, peple type as fast as they can in games."LOL! u got pwnd" like that.I learned that from Pure Pwnage (pronounced Pure Ownage)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_pwnageGo to

pwned is a thing of the past, besides pwned is never spoken, it is only typed, therefore pronunciation is irrelevant-

Actually, nowadays it is a popular phrase with the IRL community. My step brother says it, like, every 3rd sentence (he pronounces it "pooned")

I think it's poned, not pooned because the "oo" makes a long "o" sound

Yeah. I just can't be bothered telling him. Not worth the argument.

I like the title in MW2:
"My Little Pwny"But ya, I think it's just like "owned" but with a P at the beginning. (So "My Little Pwny" sounds like "My Little Pony")

Maybe. Hit the modify button and not the quick modify button.

I did a different selection from his quote.
And why signal out me when there are many other people who have the same opinion?
