Why would you pronounce it with a p??? It's simply a spoof of a common typo... much like teh.

Which makes me ask the obvious: WTF are common typos "cool"????

it's just part of the internet culture now. go along with it or fight it, either way it doesn't matter.

I don't fight it being typed. Although I think it's silly that a bunch of sheep intentionally make typos because someone they think is cool did it.

No, that's not it at all. What I would fight is PRONOUNCING it that way. That's as bad as saying LOL when someone tells you a joke in the real world.

It originated from Warcraft, I think...

BTW, I sound like a dumba$$ listening to myself trying to say the different pronounciations.
