Yep, started off as nothing but a typo, and is now a word anyone that plays games online knows about. Quite the nice definitons, where did you get them?

He got those from urban dictionary ( i think ) because I checked there and at wikipedia to see if it had the origin of the word (lol)

I wonder how pwn was adapted by everyone? I mean one guy mis-spelled own and then just said pwn over the mic or something/forums and then the other team was like huh? And the a legend was born...PWN

[Sgt. Knuck]

That's a good question, I guess after he said that somebody was like " PWN?" and then everyone caught on, and it got passed on generation to generation lol.
