someone should of told em pwn is pronounced the same way as own
Even though that's from a in-game thing, that's bs imo.
How can own sound like pwn?
Pwn just sound like 'pawn'
I'm confused =(
I'll continue to say 'pwn' how it's meant to be said.. 'pawn' =< (Or... 'porn/porns' is a better example)
but your not meant to pronounce the p in pwn, its supposed to be pronounced as own.
But.... There is no O in pwns - I don't use it as a silent P =D
If I wanted to say 'poan' I would, but I don't.
well then im not sure you actually know what pwn means
Im also sure i read somewhere the origin of pwn was a misspelling of own as the keys are right next to each other. then people kept typing it on purpose.
Actually:I belive the "P" in pwn origins from the 1337 gamers way of spelling own with a smiley.
own and pwn is indeed pronounced the same way, most likely the roxorz kids spelled it "wn" and it eventually just became "pwn"
"The hunters pwned that bear." "
That's how I use it..
so if you can use it right, why not pronounce it right?
Because it's PWNED, not OWNED.
It's like calling a PAWN in Chess, a OWN. o_o It's all to do with pronounciation, I say it my way.
People bug me about that, certain words IRL I say properly (e.g. performance/preformance) and people bitch, heh.
but your not saying this correctly. have you never seen pure pwnage? the show title is spelt pwnage, but jeremy pronounces it as ownage. that is how its meant to be said
Tris stop being a gay and accept pwn is pawn. Its because Jupitus says so, that kinky man and his beared face makes all the words pwn
Do you NOT see how flawed that is though? This could last a while by the way.
Pwned.
Owned.
Two different pronounciations.
i guess the concept of pwned is its a word that should only be written, and if spoken the word owned is used.
I say Poned like the first half of Po-ny ended with wned.
po-nn-ed
pooned?
