When I first encountered the term "...l2p, newb. :)<br /><br />When I first encountered the term "pwned," I pronounced it "poaned," and my rl gamer friend laughed at me. Much debate ensued within the guild, and 3 camps emerged:<br /><br />1) It's pronounced "poaned." ~50%<br /><br />2) There is no pronunciation, it's simply a misspelling of "owned." ~30%<br /><br />3) It's pronounced "pwinned." ~10%<br /><br />(the other 10% were "stfu and pull already.")<br /><br />I see the topic come up occasionally, and it seems that the "poaned" camp was winning. And then John Kerry had to go and pronounce it "the troops are poaned," so of course the proper pronunciation is now "Jesus."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
