        Theres hope for my atrocious French yet, then.

            I pronounce it "poned", sounds like cone with an -ed at the end.

            By the way, does anyone know what the Z in ZOMFG!! means?

                It is another typo like pwnd (p instead of o)

                In an attempt to reach for the shift key and type OMFG, somebody missed and hit the z key resulting in zomfg

                You guys crack me up, trying to say that "you" know how to pronoun a word that is a typo and is not in any dictionary anywhere.

                zomfg PWNd

                      I wish I could bludgeon every last one of those (or you) idiots that uses leetspeak with a large blunt object.

                      The God Forbid answer was good, but I don't think it takes it far enough. My answer is "**** I hope not!!!"

                      EDIT - OH NOES!!! is allowed to stay, for whatever reason I think that that particular saying is really funny.

                        I dunno... internet speak seems specifically tailored to the written (typed) word. So you might start seeing it in literature...

                        However, watching Melvyn Bragg's series "the story of english", I've learnt that english pretty much absorbs everything it touches...

                        Australian lingo, unsurprisingly, is a direct descendant of the language used in London's criminal subculture back in the 18th and 19th centuries.
