Taste the gayness: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071211/ap_on_re_us/word_of_the_year
Hey assholes, real words don't have numbers in them. What we are seeing here is the degeneration of American society. Our children are going to grow up in a world where "mad lulz" is in the fucking dictionary. Kids are going to write shit like that on academic research papers and not get marked down. I think I'm going to vomit.

I try. 
But seriously, that is stupid. Internet slang should never be accepted as anything other than internet slang. Language should be bastadardized the old fashioned way: with inane face-to-face converstions over hundereds of years!

I would accept pwned before I would accept w00t. At least pwned doesn't have numbers.

Sometimes stupid words like this can be funny, but I bet I'm not alone when I say I HATE when people talk like this in real life and are serious. Someone said Pwn the other day and I wanted to punch them. They don't even play games.

Yeah, I can't stand when people use l33t in real life, and it's usually the people who don't play games at all. It's like a trainwreck of the mouth. It really pisses me off when my friend says pwned, because he hasn't figured out that the word is pronounced "owned" and not "pouned".

Perhaps we should have a new internet rule. Whatever someone types, he or she must pronounce. If they do it wrong or it sounds gay, they get beaten with cat5 cable.

I thought this thread was about Syd being added to the dictionary and celebrating it with a "w00t."

That's how my friend pronounces it because he didnt know it was actually supposed to be pronounced 'owned.' I sometimes pronounce it 'pooned' only to confuse people who dont know + cause it sounds funny.

Yeah, it pisses me off when people say that. I say poned now just because everyone else does (peer pressure is fun!) but when first saw it I said puhned. I thought it was gay then, when I found out poned it was less gay but still gay.

Saying Punned as in "a pun" is sheer genius.

I say it-wait, I don't say it. And I don't sayu owned either. It's fucking stupid, "I just owned you," fuck that. Just tell them you kicked their ass.
