HelpRe: Pronuciation
in reply to a message by Katie
I think (perhaps) you are just not familiar with how pronounciations in keys are spelled? I don't know. They usually seem pretty accurate to me. In reference to the whole John thing below, I would pronounce "John", "Jon", "Jahn" and "Jawn" all exactly the same.

John/Jon/Jahn/Jawn
I think that's the whole issue here, that you and I think most in the US pronounce most or all of them the same, whereas I pronounce John and Jon with a very short vowel, and 'Jahn' with a long O, ironically as though I was saying John in an american accent. I would pronounce Jawn the same way I pronounce Lawn, which is again different from Jahn and John! oh dear!
