Another stupid question.

Okay, What the heck is *pwnage* or *pwn.* At first I thought it was supposed to be OWN and that a couple of people just had typos because the P and the O are right next to each other. But it comes up constantly with a P. Am I miising something here?

I was kinda thinking about that too, but, i eventually just figured Pwnij is away to make pwn look like it's not a typo.

But, i don't speak l33t, so i could be wrong.

pwn is just some type of new word for own started by (I think) some type of myg0t loser. I guess it was one of the respected (Among the cheating community and not us oif course) myg0ts that posted it by accident, and it stuck amoung them and spead out. I think that's the story
