...the word 'pwned.'

its a daily part of our lives, often known as the l33t spelling of 'owned', but what we never knew is that it can be pronounced 2 different ways.

Yes, two.

And now the intense debate....

Is it pronounced, as more commonly said : "Powned"
Or is it the new way, : "Pooned".

I know, its more intense than you've ever known!

Enlarge and discuss....

I've heard it pronounced "pawned"...but perhaps that's because I live in the south.

You can also pronounce "1337" as "leet" or "one three three seven."
