It's POWN. :'(

Unless you meant poll...
Anyway, enough pedantry, the word "pwned" is not pronounced, seeing as it's a purely text based word. However, if I had to pronounce it, if for example I was quoting (what someone said on the internet) in real life, then it would be to mock the person who said it, so I'd need to be clear that it wasn't simply the word "owned". So I would say it exactly how it's spelt. Pwned.
The end...
They are annoying to me and I just hold my breath and hope they learn how stupid they sound saying internet made up words in real life...That ruins people for me.
Once they say it in real life, I don't like them anymore.
2. I would never play American Soccer.
3. I don't like the word at all. Even from little kids still growing balls.
I don't need to understand anything else than the destruction of our language.
Plus I don't want to learn all of the slang that's around these days...too much and I like the old-school slang anyways.
How do you Pronounce "pwned"?

trimbletownIs there any way to add a pole to this thread?Well, you'd have to go to your local hardware store, find something of the right length, get a couple of brackets (not this kind!) to go on each end and some e-screws.

ace1o1 · #30That ruins people for me.What you need to understand is that the internet has become like a culture. People of the internet have their own phrases and references because thats what makes the internet great. I wouldn't dis people for saying dis.

Pwned to me is "pawned" as in the chess piece.That works, so does owned and ownage."Powned" sounds stupid.

Pawned sounds just as stupid. Why isn't it pewned, or puwned, or piwned?Because it originates from owned.
