How is ‘pwned’ pronounced?
Keep the ‘p’ silent. Don’t draw that much attention to it.
Say the ‘p’! Loud and proud!

Curious to hear the Zone’s take on this one… Me, personally, I always imagined that leaving it silent would make sense in most verbal contexts. Right?

imho it's pown. one could argue that the p is a silent consonant, but i couldn't fathom a word having one at the beginning without another consonant right after it e.g. tsunami

Actually *pushes up glasses and the reflection shine hides eyes* the Japanese つ (tsu) character pronounces t and s aloud together. Kind of like a little ‘tss’ sound

It's pronounced pown like fps doug

FPS Doug (PBUH) pronounced the p silently.
