Awe attack

[Tom Zurinskas]

Attack of the awe-droppers
Regarding the Hoboken Mayor - Do reportes say "Don Zimmer" or "Dawn Zimmer"?  It's getting that bad.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/23/nyregion/hoboken-mayor-is-said-to-have-told-of-threat.html?_r=0
How does Dawn say her own name? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XY10iIhyKY
And shall it be the "Sea-hocks" instead of "Seahawks" in the superbowl? 
How about that commercial: "Are you eating chock?   --  chock???? instead of chalk
Help save the "awe" phoneme before it disappears outright.
