no, its a typo. see, the 'o' and 'p' keys are right next to each other. someone meant to type owned and typed pwned on accident and it caught on.

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

but i say that teh with a hard T and then a eh

:confused: Why?

Are typos so cool, we must pronounce them that way too???

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.


Its not like I go around saying teh all day long, I do it when I am mocking some ub3rl337 1/\/74|?\/\/3|3 kiddie
