      how did the phrase 'owned' ever turn into 'pwned'?

      - i'm answering myself here
        
        "A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."
        
        Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."
        
        It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
        
        "Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned."
        
        OR
        
        "That team totally pwned us."
        "

        i've always thought it was
        
        'pone-ed'
        i think i once heard some kids in sixth form discussing it.
