Really, you dont by any chance have a bee up your nose as you say it...?

I prounonce pwn as:

I thoroughly conquered you through any means necessary in a extraordinary way.

Takes quite a long time to say though, by then I have been thoroughly conquered through any means necessary in a extraordinary way-ed.

Oh well.
Title: doesn't everybody pronounce it this way?

I pronounce it "Pone" as in "pony" but without the "y".  A girl told me that it is pronounced "own" though, like the "p" is silent.  I don't know who to believe...but whatever it is, I like to think that I do it.

Pawn (like the chess piece)
or P-own (like adding a p to own, rhymes with cone)

I usually pronounce it pone as in rymes with own, but ith a P in front. Howver, I think the correct way might be "own" but i'm going to keep on saying Pone.
