cgksheff Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 None of us say scon. We all say scone, but some may pronounce it incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If it's done wrongly. What is the correct way? You understand that the pronunciation of thousands of English words differs by region, with many divergences from the way dictionaries document the pronounciation?

Anna B Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It's a scone! Unless you're a posh Southern numpty, but what do they know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugartip Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It is scone, unless you have some underlying psychological issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) It's pronounced 'scon' in Scotland to rhyme with gone. Not really posh, southern, or numpty! Rhyming scone with phone sounds very Hyacinth Bucket to me. ☺️ A poll was done a couple of years ago, 'scon' is the more popular pronunciation. http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/02/finally-its-been-revealed-how-to-say-scone-6229066/ Edited August 2, 2017 by Ms Macbeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentP Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So why is it not the Stonn of Sconn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So why is it not the Stonn of Sconn? Sorry, deleted the reference to Scone Palace from my previous post. I've no idea why it's pronounced 'scoon' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
