The Cynic
Internet culture = bad.
What's with the word "hella". Usage: "That SoBe drink was hella good." ... WTF?
Or in games sometimes we type "pwned". It's l33t d3wd sp33k. So yesturday we were talking about a PK fight and my friend says, in person, how he "pwned" someone. He pronounced the p!

Hey Clippy, pass that bottle over here.

Yes yes, but how did he PRONOUNCE it?

Comic Book Store Guy
Did he say "pooned?"

Comic Book Store Guy
Perhaps "pweened?"

Comic Book Store Guy
"Powned?"

Comic Book Store Guy
It is necessary that I know how to say this word.

My next LAN party depends on it.

"Powned"

Another good one is "j00". As in "I pwned j00".

Pronouncing is as "jew" is an obvious faux paus. My friends always pronounce it with a soft J, sort of like "zhoo".

Another one is "n00b". The correct pronunciation for this seems to be "noob" as opposed to "new-bee"

So remember this one key phrase and I'm sure your LAN party will turn out well.

"I powned zhoo hella hard, noob! I'm leet!"

Yes yes, I know all THAT.
Thank you for answering the question I asked, Professor Linguistica.
