Do you say file “drawer” or file “draw”?
Jul 10th, 2009 by admin
You know, the little cabinets in your desk? Do you call them a drawer or a draw? I’ve always called them a drawer, but my boss calls them a draw. Which is correct? Or are they both correct? Jamie, that’s how I say it too – like drooor. 
Nope, no accent. She’s from here, VA, just like me. I just find it strange, I’ve never heard of anyone call it a draw until now. She even uses the word draw in emails. Weird.
Answer:
Why would they say draw? That must be an accent thing. I say drawer. That’s the proper pronunciation. It irks me when people add an “r” to everything that ends in an “a”. Most people from the city here do it. Like “soder” instead of “soda” C, everyone has an accent. You just don’t know it because you’re around it. If I came there, all of you would have accents to me.
