Leper Messiah Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 just to ask a question, hopefully my last noob kind of act, whats the deal with "pwned" instead of owned, i see it all over the swamp so whats the deal man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well, "p" is next to "o" on the keyboard. So just as "teh" has become a humorously intentional mis-spelling of "the", "pwned" has become a humorously intentionaly mis-spelling of "owned" and has the same connotations re: leetspeakers and newbies.

Your right. People just started to put p instead of o and they spelt pwned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 All of these misunderstandings are a very good reason why people should LEARN TO TYPE! seriously why? is it clever to replace the "O" with "P"? No, not really. All this "L33T Sp33k" really gets on my pecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agen Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Other seemingly cool things to do - e= 3 e=£ e=€ o=p l=1 a=4 a=@ random addition of X random addition of Z Constructing non-circley boring letters out of |/\ adding x0rz! to the end of words. eg. dixx0rz Of course, there's the old classic of mis-spelling words that defy all the rules of the language(even though the language does anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
