Ahh, the weirdest forum in the entire universe

I've always pronounced 'pwn' as pone, simply because it's the word 'own' with a p replacing the o.

 

[Elisianthus]

You are the exact sort of people I get into long arguments of linguistics over.

Mine at least made linguistic sense.

EDIT: where do you even get the "o" noise from if the o is replaced? D:

 

[Tuckles]

@Kron

Pronouncing pwn as poon just make it sound like you were vagina'd.

You were poon'd *****.

 

[Shatari]

Because I actually know how to spell the word 'own' correctly.

 

[CJ1145]

I've always pronounced it "pawned", since it makes it sound more like you're being some crazy Chessmaster than a vagina-obsessed freak.

 

[Elisianthus]

And this is why we can't have nice things.

 

[FrisianDude]

'Meem'.

End of.

If I pronounce 'meem' Dutchly then Native English speakers might think I said 'maim.'

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Then pronounce it Englishly, you foreign heathen.

 

[CJ1145]

Everyone knows English is the only important language. That's why all aliens speak it.

 

[FrisianDude]

HELP HELP I AM BEING OPPRESSED.

 

[CJ1145]

That doesn't explain Jar-Jar. Or the Namekians. Or Klaatu. Or the Shredder.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Universal translators, fella.

 

[CJ1145]

Universal translators, fella.

There'd be a mechanical whurr noise to let you know. Those ****ers are speaking straight-up English, and you know it.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Universal translators in Star Trek are silent, they're built into the technology.

Except when you have to swear in Klingon. The translators automatically know not to do that.

 

[CJ1145]

Star Trek is not all fiction, Llandy. You should know this.

 

[Moose!]

Everyone knows that all aliens speak English. They have to, considering they're ruled by a bunch of stuffy Imperial Officers and Grand Moffs.

wookies didnt speak english neither did jawas.

 

[Moose!]

And look what happened to them.

 

[CJ1145]

wookies didnt speak english neither did jawas.

Jawas were hardly even sentient, and Wookiees only spoke Shyriiwook to screw with us. They could speak English, but they were like "**** that! Maybe outsiders can't spy on us if our language makes no ****ing sense." And then they started growling and a couple thousand years later you have modern-day Wookiees, the most illiterate and unintelligible bastards in the galaxy.

That also explains why they can understand English.
