  I was so fucking confused until I tried saying it out loud. I’m so startled and impressed

    Yeah if I slow down and pronounce it with intention, they’re different. In normal speech though, it’s basically “jragon”

  I grew up in the Appalachian and it isn’t the same in my accent.

  Absolutely not. Am American, so I’m gonna go on a limb and assume most of my friends would also probably pronounce it similarly.

  The way you say Jra-gon and Dra-gon is completely different in most accents on the West coast. I’m very confident in that.

  I think the Midwest would probably say it pretty samsues because they’re not emphasizing the first letter: jRa-gun / dRa-gun or jra-Gn / dra-Gn. Probably gets lost in the sauce a little.

  Idk about East Coast, but tbh it probably is closer to Midwesterners dropping consonants and shit so who knows.

    West-coaster here. They’re definitely two completely different pronunciations.

    I’m a Midwesterner living on the east coast so that’s entirely possible.
