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.
I pronounce it (SPOILER)
"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.
Dawn is to Yawn....Yawn is to Pawn....Pawn is to Pon and Pon is Don..
So Don is Dawn!
