Do "dawn" and "don" rhyme? (1 Viewer)

[Samuel L Bronkowitz]

Of course they do.

No. No they don't

 

[netnalp]

"O say can you see by the don's early light,"

 

[bostonfred]

My Puerto Rican's family hear no distinction between "reach" and "rich" even when I say it (Boston area).

I feel like the apostrophe and s may have inadvertently changed the meaning of this sentence.

Why would I be posting for Rude/Thorn?I was claiming it if it hadn't already been claimed. Although I'm completely oblivious to this fantastic process.

Didn't realized it was a "claimed" deal....I thought he was giving Rude the last pick b/c he was disagreeing with Bfred

Who's running this show, anyway

Spot on explanation

 

[Jack White]

They sound similar, but do not rhyme.

Dawn rhymes with lawn and pawn.

Don rhymes with con and John.

Though Mad Men used the Don/Dawn joke to great success.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Clearly sound identical

Because they sound exactly alike. If they didn't the joke wouldn't work.

Not dead wrong. All those statements are true, they just all rhyme with each other, too. Don, dawn, John, lawn, con, Jon, prawn, pawn, all the same stuff.

I suppose it must be a regional dialect issue, because those words are NOT all the same the way I pronounce them.

When I was a kid, I mowed the lawn, not the lon.

The first statement "sound similar, but do not rhyme" contradicts the rest.

I've already conceded some people might pronounce these words the same.

I've also stated that I pronounce them differently.

I said they're similar but not rhyming.

I'm sorry that you can't discern the difference between the "aw" and "ah" vowel sounds.

If you go to Dictionary.com and type in don and dawn, and click the speaker icon next to each word, you will hear the difference.

And if you don't, maybe it's your ears -- and not your pronunciation -- that is the problem.

Why do you hate Ws?

Why do you hate Ws?

because they make stupid people pronounce homonyms differently

Any thoughts on what parts of the country this goes on? It's a thing here, it's called a "Yat" accent.

Question - do you see people on TV pronouncing these words your way or our way?

The only way I can properly say Dawn is to give it a New York accent.

Somehow I did not notice that when I waded into this.

Just a few hours until the crack of don, when I plan to mow the lon.
