I don't use that word, but it's not like it's a "bad word" or anything.  It's not like it's a "word" either...

Talking in LEET IRL is awesome. Last night a bunch of friends and I were going "NO WAI," "ORLY," "YARLY," mentioning "teh intarweb,"and "I less-than-three you!" (better known as "<3"). 'Twas teh awesomeness. (We were also looking at pictures of those infamous owls... XD ) And yes, we're all girls, "yet we don't exist!!1"

Oh, and I pronounce "pwn" as "pown."
I've heard people pronounce it "poon," which makes me go wtd.

I talk in leet-speak to my friends all the time.

"So I was looking at that website earlier."
"O RLY?"
"YA RLY, it was good."
"Be yourself. Everyone else is taken."

 I think it as if it sounded like "pawn" or the past tense as "pond", but say "owned".  Dude, my brains messed up.

I read it as pawn but in I might pronounce it as pwoon.  So... phew that was close.  I almost got pwned in the pond by a pound of pan-yielding pawns.

I just like to type right. I use emicons, but thats a different thing. The only time I like to use it is when I'm making a joke. Like that "omg girlz dont exist on teh intarweb!!1" I saw on that one topic... But, "pwn" started off as a typo of "own". People just like to pwn because it sounds better or something.

I actually pronounce it pwn, not pwn. You know, with a W instead of a Q or an X.
And that timeline I made was entirely fictional. Pwn was coined by Bob Blearfghlopfrt in 1998 and not Chris McVredremwenen in 1999. My mistake.
