I've been pronouncing the word "Pwnage" as 'Pownage"
Then some retard tells me it's pronounced 'Ownage'
"It's like the word 'pterodactile' the P is silent."
Which idiot is right?

| Iunno. I pronounce it like you. But some people pronounce it like the other guy. That Internet Show, Pure Pwnage also pronounces it like that other guy. But w/e. Just do what you think.

| I don't believe there is a right or wrong way to pronounce a word that isn't in the dictionary.

I would have to agree with you.
The power of suggestion is enourmous.

Urban Dictionary doesn't count as an official referance :3
While you're there look up " Hummer Gummer", and "Tokyo Transfer"
