| Level: 34 Elite | That's how my friend pronounces it. I tend to lean toward "pawn" for some reason. =+= =/\= eX, Master of the C.L.I.T. since 1997 =/\= Cross, if you don't surrender the ferret, I'll scrape out your innards and force-feed them to rabid Sephiroth fangirls. --Kenri http://www.reactorsite.com/ ***Member of the Libertarian Party since 2004*** |

| Level: 43 Editor | P'w'n. ' stands for any given vowel, where the vowel is silent. Hence, the correct pronounciation is, indeed, "pwn". "P" as in "pool", "w" as in "win", and "n" as in "in". Pronouce pwn as puhwahihn, only very quickly and rather nasally, so the uh, ah, and ih aren't heard. Make sure you never say it in real life, either, as you run the risk of a huge store clerk yelling "NEEEEERRRRRRRRDDDDDDD~!" and maiming you. gg "Is he going to be able to chase us? Cause if I woke up looking like that, I'd just run towards the nearest living thing and kill it." "For the LOVE OF GOD, stop talking about ANDREA you annoying little PARROT.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Kenri, you're not too great at this language stuff. In English, only the shwa can be used to bridge consonants in a morphologically illegal consonant cluster. Because 'pw' is illegal unless it is followed by a vowel, it is pronounced 'puhw', or poe. When preceeded by vowel, 'wn' is perfectly legal; and because the shwa is a vowel, we may tag an 'n' to poe, rendering poen, which is better transliterated as pone. ___ ~ Silvas ~ Buddha promised me Nirvana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
