KZ2 on 25 August 2008

I personally pronounce it pown but some other people pronounce it:

1. Poon

2.Own

3.Pawn

4. No pronounciation

I pronounce it the same way as you, but I've heard pawn before.

pown, so just like own, except with a p in front.

pawn. Like prawn without the r (or shrimp without the s-h-r-i-m-p).

Haha, I wonder how people would go about option 4.

The few times I say it I pronounce it like that too.  Saying "I pawned you" makes no sense.

 

Also I support the death of the word "pwn."

pawn. Not that I say it a lot, but that's how I'd pronounce it
