minus-squareTuukka R@piefed.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down2·2 months agoAs it’s written. Pwned. No need to stick an extra “o” or “a” or any other vowel in between. It says “pwned”, so “pwned” it is.

minus-squareTuukka R@piefed.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoI sometimes see people saying “pronounce it like it’s the name of a Greek philosopher” or “pronounce it as if it was Spanish”. There’s a “p”, a “w”, an “n”, an “e” and a “d”. Say those in a row. “As if it was Spanish”, to make sure that e is really e and not i.
