What?

Downtown not downton

Downton isn't a word -_-

It is a name.
It is hardly uncommon that "town" is spelled without a W in place names and surnames.

Exactly. You don't see Charlestown, Newtown, Livingstown, etc. The OP is just trying to stir up shit. Besides Downton is hardly anywhere near a downtown of any sort, being a country estate.
