I just thinking how do you pronounce pwnage?

do you pronounce it the "make love not warcraft" PONE-AGE way?

do you pronounce it the phoenetic PAWN-AGE way?

do you pronounce it the wierd PRAWN-AGE way?

or do you discount the P (since the term was a spelling mistake originally anyway) and just pronounce it OWN-AGE?

Discuss...:D

the 'make love not warcraft' way...just seems the most fitting to me.

Considering the origin of the word, it should be "pone", but I'm stubborn and say "pawn" anyway.

Pawn-age. Like one of Earth's reformation periods that no one cared much about

I don't say it or type it as it looks very juvenile. I'll go with the more distinguished "owned."

I instintively say PAWN-AGE but "make love not warcraft" changed my view on the matter with their PONE-AGE pronounciation so now i just say both depending on my mood!

Pawned. Like the chess piece.
It's symbolic of the PWNED ones weakness and also his demotion in rank.

If I say some variation of the word, it's usually just PONED. I'd probably pronounce it Pone-edge/Pone-age, though.

Ownage. Anything else is blasphemy.

I've never pronounced it outside my head before, but I'd pronounce it pwned. it'd probably be like puhwned, but the uh would be so short that you'd hardly notice it.

I don't really pronounce it, since I dislike the word, but it's clearly "poneage". I can understand why somebody might prefer "pawnage", but why would anyone pronounce it as "prawnage"? :{

poneage is phoenetic, since I think most amerienglish speakers pronounce their consonants with a u sound by default.

"puh own"

According to Pure Pwnage, (http://www.purepwnage.com/) you are all wrong and it's pronounced "ownage."

well i would say its phonetic to say pawnage, because human as we are, we tend to insert letters in places when a word doesnt look easily pronouncable...

I never say it, to tell the truth, I think it's the most retarded word. But I think it's pronounced Pawnage.

If I have to read it, I will think "pone." But I try to avoid having my eyes look at it at all costs. I hate that word. Owned is just as bad, in my books.

I prefer "FACED." :greenie:

"Pwone-d" or "Pone-d" depending on how I'm feelin'. Usually the first though.

Faced is synonymous with drunk 'round these parts.

I really never had any idea how to correctly pronounce "pwned" so I usually just say "owned" instead. I think if I were to use the term, from the ways that were listed, I would say "pawned."

i've actually never used the word or said it aloud before, but reading this thread i've said it aloud soo many times! but i think "pone-age" goes best.

Pawned is so much more original than owned.

PAWNAGE!
