Roberthree Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The "p" still counts as an "o". Its pronounced own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Surge Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 When I see people say it, I pronounce it "poon" in my head. Makes more sense to me. My friend said it in real life once and I almost kneed him in the family-maker. That made my day =) It needs to be in my signature. Anyway, I say it almost like pwin... But with a nearly silent "i"? The way it's written. It's not easy to say. When I see people say it, I pronounce it "poon" in my head. Makes more sense to me.

Maulmachine Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Given the recent development of the word and its primary use in written form only, there is no single accepted pronunciation of pwn. However, "own", "pawn", "poon" and "pone" are frequently used, and "pwen" is also considered an acceptable pronunciation although "pone" is the most common pronunciation. According to the staff at the popular company Pure Pwnage (a company that creates popular online videos like FPS Doug), the word "pwnage" or "pwn" is pronounced like the word's predecessor "own." The reason for this is because it is simply a typo and really has no origin other than in online text.
