"The slang term pwn (past tense pwned and other possible variants) as used by the Internet gaming culture, means to beat or dominate an opponent (pwned can mean "to be made a fool of"). While the term probably originated as a typographical error of the word own[1], it is now used intentionally by many members of the culture. The term has become so ubiquitous in Internet circles that it is often used outside of gaming contexts."

What the hell does that mean. Just because letters are in math doesn't mean numbers can now make up words.
