Help me out here, what is the difference?
As I understand it if I was having a sniper battle with Raven and he successfully sniped me say 3 times in a row that would be an act of ownage, or he would now own me. Correct?
Now pwn, is that a super size own? Say he then sniped me 3 more times in a row thus making the score 6-0, would that be a pwn? I have seen the word being used and at first I thought it was just a fat finger on the keyboard as p is right next to o but it is used so often I thought being in the over 30 club maybe I just wasn't staying true to my childish ways and I missed out on a new word.
Help a brother out.

Nice recording...thought it was a speeling bee at first 
As I know of pwn's origins, it started way back with the development of halo for x-box. A website created for halo meant to put owned as part of a sentence, a word gaining very much popularity in gaming, but a simple typo place "p" instead of "o" thus creating pwned. As many saw the typo, few realized that it was indeed a mistake and the pwn fad spread like wildfire, moving from game to game, mouth to ear, with such phrases as: pwnage, pwned, uberpwned, cornpwn and so on...personally, i like the recordings much more
