Journal jdray's Journal: How do you pronounce "pwn" ?? 1

After months of reading it online, with my inner voice sort of munging the sound in a faint echo of something verbally pronounceable, I decided to check out what that vast knowledgebase of society, Wikipedia, had to say about this maddening bit of online vernacular. Unfortunately, what I discovered is that pretty much whatever you think is the way to pronounce it is on the list. So, how do you pronounce it?

How do you pronounce "pwn" ??

  • I absolutely hate this term, and have always read it as "pown" ("own" with a 'p' sound in front). From what I've gathered, most people say it that way, even in real life (which is TWICE as annoying).

    And no, Pure Pwnage didn't invent saying it that way.
