Sorry for our absence esteemed readers. While we were gone however, a great debate erupted over the correct pronunciation of online gaming slang word pwn (or for you 1337 |-|4><0|25 out there the: |>|/\| |\|). He argued in favor of the pronunciation pōōn (spoon) and I pān (fawn). Not going to let it just end at a stalemate I researched and was directed here. Turns out our ways are two of eleven widely accepted versions. Mine's still better.

That's okay, the dorks are in charge these days.

The argument is still going on. It is not whether the word is pronounced right but rather which one is better. The one that rymes with spoon is obviously better, of course.

Pwned is official said "Owned"...but i like the word "Pawned" better so I say that. When I heard my friend say "pooned" i laughed my ass off. But he and his friends have spread it 2 their brothers and friends so their all against me. I tryed to convince them it was "owned" but they wouldn't listen
