for the wrong award?how do you freaks pronounce award, btw?

They'd pronounce it ahard, I suppose, but I doubt these kooks have ever had occasion to say that word anyway.

Stop acting like award on.

 

[Otis]

I love it when a hot chick goes don on me.

 

[Otis]

Why do you guys ignore the w in "dawn" but give it the utmost respect when you say "down"? Or do dawn, down, and don all sound the same to you?

It's like we're staring at Margaret Thatcher and Alessandra Ambrosio side by side, and you're all sitting here going "no difference, they're both chicks. "

just like ward with an a in front. This isn't rocket science.

Are "tour" and "tore" homonyms?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Are "tour" and "tore" homonyms?

This is getting stupid.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

I've noticed that I do have a bit of a Jersey accent when I say "dog". The way I say it, it doesn't quite rhyme with bog, cog, fog, etc. although I suppose it should.

Hmm. "Hot dog."

Should those two words rhyme?

What about hot fog?

Nope.Hot shot. Hot spot.

Getting?When was it not stupid?

 

[tribecalledjeff]

Are "tour" and "tore" homonyms?

By the way, I was serious. I've gotten in arguments with friends that live in New York over them pronouncing tour like tore. They are different, yes?

In regard to the original question, even as a ####### southern redneck that comes from a place where "tire" and "tower" not only rhyme, but are pronounced exactly the same, "dawn" and "don" obviously don't rhyme.

You're excused from the rest of the discussion.

 

[Cunk]

what people pronounce Mary, merry, and marry differently?

I can't imagine people would pronounce any two of those the same way, let alone all three.

Mary and marry = the sameMerry = different, a little upset that wasn't an option.

I don't think Mary and marry are the same and I from the Boston area as well. To me Mary is Mare-E and Marry is Mah-ree.

This is the phonetic equivalent of being a liberal when LHUCKS turns conservative. We can mock him, and secretly rejoice.

My roommate would agree with you. Me? Not so much.

Nice work in breaking down Bfred's stupidity lately.

I don't know Otis, but I am a little concerned I agree with him based on reputation alone. He's a genius in this thread though.

I pronounce it.....A (as the vowel sound in butt) WAR ( rhymes with for) D (as in dirty)

The people from the northeastern part of the country keep disagreeing with those who speak American English correctly.

I find your language claims dubious.

 

[Addai's Adidas]

My 10 year old son says they do not. He says dawn and fawn rhyme, but fawn does not rhyme with Don.

That's pretty good use of the transitive property if you ask me.

Let's not get too excited about this development. You now have the self described redneck, the guy who tried to make up an abbot and costello routine about someone saying "I awe tim", the guy from Alabama with the picture of a dude on his toilet on the front porch, and Rudnicki. Seems like you've got the professional wrestling fan areas of the country, which probably explains the RAW IS WAR slogan they used at one time because the 'billies and Otis think it rhymes.

Why do you guys ignore the w in "dawn" but give it the utmost respect when you say "down"? Or do dawn, down, and don all sound the same to you?It's like we're staring at Margaret Thatcher and Alessandra Ambrosio side by side, and you're all sitting here going "no difference, they're both chicks. "

It's called fishing.

 

[Ilov80s]

This is probably like one of those things where some people have good ears and some don't. Some people have a good ear for music, such that they can hear and process the subtle differences in pitch and determine that one person is a bad singer and another is a good singer, or can tell that an instrument is out of tune, even if slightly. So, some of us can actually hear the difference in the sounds, and the minority of us don't. In the same way that I'm embarrassed for someone when they get up at karaoke and think they are good, but they are actually borderline tone-deaf, I am embarrassed for the people in this thread who cannot hear the difference in obviously different-sounding words. Go sit down and have another beer gang; let the pros handle this English language stuff.

This has been addressed ad nauseum, but I'll say it again because you're awwwwful at this. I can absolutely hear your sucky aw sound, I just think it's one of the four hundred eighty third worst thing about people from New York. And that's still ahead of the murdering, and the dirty bodegas with cockroaches running over their uncovered twelve hour old food, and the twenty five dollar turkey sandwich at freaking bennigans in times square, and the fact that it's filled with New Yorkers, and countless other intolerable things about "the city".

I don't know if this has been addressed, but in your video you make the "aw" sound when saying lawn and prawn. It is also the sound that should be used to distinguish dawn from don.

Hope on Xbox live and I will say dawn and don, fawn and lawn, and you tell me if they sound different.

 

[Ilov80s]

On that note, what about #### and caulk?

They DO NOT rhyme.####=duck=luck=suck=puck=tuckcaulk=Faulk (as in Kevin Faulk)=balk=walk=stalk=talkI could play this game forever.

Nice try, but I'm pretty sure he was referring to the rooster, not the horizontal happy dance.

Oops, my bad.....let's try again, shall we:####=lock=dock=sock=tock=rock=mockcaulk=Faulk (as in Kevin Faulk)=balk=walk=stalk=talkTwo very distinct pronunciations. The first set of words do not rhyme with the second set of words.

They all rhyme to me.

So, to you c0ck and caulk sound exactly the same?

What exactly will that prove? You'll say them and they'll sound the same. I'll say them and they won't. One of us will be wrong and it won't be me.

I'm sorry Pickles, I don't have your Xbox name or else I'd gladly invite you too, don't be upset.

So my sister in law is from Brooklyn, and her pronunciation of John Deere is Jawn (Jaughn for the idiots) Deere. Is she part of the 42% ######ees from this pole or is she in another "special" group all their own?

I still don't understand how interchanging an 'o' for an 'a' gives the 'w' the ability to be pronounced in speech, whereas it is silent otherwise.

Yes with her Brooklyn English, sadly all those words sound the same phonetically.Vince Vaughn = Jaughn Deere = Jawn(Dawn with a J) = John in her language.

Down sounds different from don.Won sounds different from don. Dawn sounds different from dan. Dawn sounds identical to dawn.In every case, the w is being pronounced.
