I think this secret and all the replies are kind of funny. Everyone on the show says 'Downton'. It's...not the same word. Doesn't *sound* the same. I just...don't get the confusion.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I don't watch the show. :) To uninformed me, it always sounded like it was "Downtown" when people mentioned it, and I never bothered to look it up. I'm betting a lot of people are in a similar boat.

[elaminator]

Yea, same for me. I don't watch it but once my mom started to I caught bits here and there and realized my mistake.

[yeahscience]

I would imagine most people making that error aren't watching the show, or made it before they started watching. I don't watch and it took me months to realize what the real name was because I never heard it said.

You need to track down some movies/TV from other English-speaking regions to get a broader idea of English As She Is Spoke.

'-town' being pronounced '-ton' is extremely common.

[(Anonymous)]

sorry, i'm just imagining 'let's go to ton' in my head and can't help but cracking up.

[kamino_neko]

I've never heard of this Let'sgototown. Where is it?

[(Anonymous)]

My family made the mistake when we first saw commercials for it on PBS, but we stopped making that mistake once we started watching. "Downtown" is just a more intuitive word, especially for Americans who live in cities' metropolitan areas (as I do).

[(Anonymous)]

Because obviously, everyone everywhere watches the show, and hasn't just heard/read of it.
