own is to pwn, as pwn is to ___? maybe "qwn" (alphabetical progression) or "[wn" (progression along the keyboard) |

pwn is to pwm (pulse width modulation). |

i'm not sure. it's certainly worthy of further research though; see if you can get a grant to investigate this shit. |

i thought that was the sort of thing they actually did for research in english departments. its not necessarily shit, but it is slightly pointless. |

"own" (logical symmetry) yes, it's a boring answer, but what could i do? ignore the obvious truth? perhaps. but not on fridays |

Yep. "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" mentions internet abbreviations/conventions. Far enough really, I imagine when the letter was a new fangled technology and people started writing things they wouldn't normally say it was seen as improper English, but over time it becomes percieved as classical. Who knows, our great grandchildren may find "lolzorz!1!!" in the dictionary. It's only when people do a whole degree on something like this it seems a bit pointless to me. |
