The "p" by TheReveller on 04-12-2005 at 12:21 AM
I was wondering why does so many people spells the words "own" and "ownage" with a "p" instead of a "o" ("pwn" and "pwnage"). When did it started, why did it started and what's with the "p" ?

Pwn, pwning and pwnage refer to dominance over something. Own and owning refer to ownership. Ownage isn't a word. Usage: rav0 pwns you, but rav0 doesn't own you.

Usage: You've been pwned by rav0, but you haven't been owned by rav0, and probably never will be.

Well I just thought it was an excited n00b who, in his excitement, hit the p instead of o as they are next to each other on the keyboard.
