Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.
It was a misspelling of “Owned” in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.

For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.

Are you kidding me? No way. You can’t trademark a word or a typo. That’s dumb.
Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage
