Seriously, I don't know how one would go about pronouncing "pwn". Some people say "paaaaawn", but some say "pooooooon". Something random I was wondering about.

It's pawn. Or for me, for short - pwn. This is interesting.

"pwn" - to "own" or basically, to show someone up. I think it came from when someone made a typo and typed a p instead of an o.

It's "poan", because the word is derived from "own". (There are a lot of Warcraft III players who pronounce it "pawn", though, because in the DOTA mod for War3, when one player kills another player's hero, the player is said to have "pawned" the other player's head for gold.)

Am I the only one who pronounces it exactly like it's spelled (P-wn)? On the handful of occasions that I did actually say it.
My friend keeps telling me to say "pawn", but I can't pronounce it quite the correct way like that. There's some sort of freaky pitch change he does that I can't do. |

I guess I'm the only one that reads it as "own".
