how do you pronounce \"PWNED?\"
 

figured you guys would know...

last night's TOC on ESPN had Daniel N. saying to Mike the Mouth, "You just got pwned."

He pronounced it with a long "o," however...like the word it is derived from, "owned." I've always pronounced it like the chess piece: "pawned." Have I been wrong all this time?

How do YOU pronounce it?

This is how it should be pronounced and Daniel Negreanu is absolutely correct.

long o, although it is very fun to say "pooned" also, or when it is spelled pwnt, pronounced it "poonted".

Re: how do you pronounce \"PWNED?\"
 

definitely with the "o" since it originated from some 13 year old playing Counter Strike and mistyping it all the time, accidentally hitten the p instead of the o.

Re: how do you pronounce \"PWNED?\"
 

"Given the recent development of the word, and its primary use in written form only, there is no single accepted pronunciation of pwn, as there are no vowels. Pronunciation is usually determined by personal preference and the context of the game being played."

Dom,

So, you are saying that you have actually used this word “in real life”. Please, tell me you were drunk or something.
