    i like (pronouced) 'Pawned' better than (pronouced) 'Powned'

    pawned is like in chess - when your pawn traps a king and he cant do anything about it

    Pawned

      Anyone who pronounces "pawned" will be tortured by Lord Vetko.

        well how do you want us to pronounce 'vetko' like veetkow ?

        maybe 'prawned' is best

          No, Vet-koh. Do not annoy me. You will be banished from the kingdom!

            Hmm, I quite like the idea of "correcting" pwn into pawn. Pawned! It's proper English and makes remotely sense, which does make it a poor gaming term.

              Nice to see this crucial debate finally getting the coverage it's stature warrants.

                Why exactly don't you just say owned? How did it get transferred from owned to 0wned to pwned?? That's the crucial question ...

                  It's a deliberate typo, if that's not an oxymoron, intending to mock excitable kiddies who accidentally write pwned instead of owned. This is of course why it should be said owned not pawned or powned.

                    Powned just sounds so stupid when saying it.

                      I always thought it was "P3ned" or even better "P3/\/ed" pronounced "Pwneed" as in "owned".

                      The way I understood it, it came from counterstrike and then was adapted into L33tsp33k?

                        This should so be a poll, on reflection.

                            Hmmm... again you are going to argue about how to pronoun a non-word that is a duplicated typo.

                            It is pronounced PWND BTW!

                              Okay, you can't exactly ask a dutchman to tell us how to pronounce an intentional misspelling of an english word. It's just not done.

                                It doesn't look particulary intelligent typed either.

                                ACK!
