is it now common practice to use the word "draw" instead of "drawer" to describe the thing you usually keep your underwear in?

I noticed this a lot, not just from ordinary folk, but also on oficial websites and literature - when did this happen, did I miss something?

my main birthday present

I agree. This happens when the following word starts with a vowel. It seems easier to say, " I sawr a man", rather than, "I saw a man", as the two vowel sounds together create a hiatus.

Must be an accent thing, I have no problem with that either!
