I pronounce it "poned", sounds like cone with an -ed at the end.Originally posted by Geronimo
how could you use the unpronouncable 'pwned' in a normal conversation? (unless you pronounced it incorrectly
)

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

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...
