I pronounce it as "pawn", but I had a long discussion with my friend. He said it's "pown", as in "own", but I still go with "pawn".seremtan wrote:how do you pronounce pwn anyway? without making it sound like welsh that isScooterG wrote:I've used pwn and own, but I never thought I'd call something gay.

It should be pronounced pown. Because I said so.
No, seriously though, the l33t form of own, or pwn, started because the p and the o are next to each other on the keyboard and the mistake was made so often that the misspelling caught on, right? So, it goes to reason that if someone was trying to type own and typed pwn instead that pwn should be pronounced the same as own. Yeah?
Wow, that was just too long.
