pwned?
ok, me and my friends are having an argument... they say that you pronounce "pwned" like "pawned"... but i say it's like "powned (owned)"... i say its like that because it is supposed to be 1337 for "owned"... so tell me, which of us are right?

Actually it's just pronounced 'owned,' everyone knows 1337-speak is still spoken the same.

i always think of it as "powned," and i honestly don't really care about the "proper" pronunciation.

Its one of those words that has no use in verbal communication, such as one does not say "lol" when told a funny joke.(unless you are just plain weird)

It is more than possible to speek 1337. ju5t R3/\/\83R 7|-|47 7|-|3 {0RR3{7 5|*311![\]6 !5 P\/\/[\]23|).

In other words, I believe it's pronounced pwnzed, which is a lot easier to understand and identify as leet speek. As for the "pw" syllable, it's up to you whether you wanna stick an 'a' or an 'o' in there. I personally try too make the p as close to silent as possible.

I spell it pwned, since i always thought it's 'pwned' because o was replaced with 'p' to be symetrical wit 'd'.
