Re: Pwnage

pownage was my understanding, pwn is from own typed incorrectly.

EDIT: From Wikipedia

Given the recent development of the word and its primary use in written form only, there is no single accepted pronunciation of pwn. However, "own", "pawn", "poon" (compare cwm) and "pone" are frequently used, and "pwen" is also considered an acceptable pronunciation although "pone" is the most common pronunciation.[6]
