    I see no conceivable way that you could get 'don' from 'dawn'.

    I pronounce the w very audibly. Not that I'm southern or anything. I didn't know people pronounced it like Don?

    It depends on how critical I am being. If I am speaking to people who do not really care, I'll say "don". If I am giving a speech or presentation that includes the word, I will say "dawn" with a short, drawn-out aw. I tend to speak candidly around my friends.

    English accents are silly. Doooooorn.

    "Don" and "Dawn" are pronounced exactly the same. I do not understand how people can say 'pronounce the w.' The "aw" and short "o" are the exact same sound.

    Without a randomly-inserted "r." And instead like it's spelled.
