Ms Macbeth Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Now I think scon is more Hyacinth Bucket! I've always thought that was posh. I say scone (and you can make that sound very common indeed ) I suppose the definitive answer would be - how does the Queen pronounce it! Hyacinth Bucket thought she was posh, but she usually got it wrong ��. I've no idea how the Queen pronounces it, but I'd guess scon.

Ms Macbeth Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 If you look in the English dictionary it always tells you how to pronounce the English words and in this case it is scone, are you listening you posh folk? This is whats said in the OED: There are two possible pronunciations of the word scone: the first rhymes with gone and the second rhymes with tone. In US English the pronunciation rhyming with tone is more common. In British English the two pronunciations traditionally have different regional and class associations, with the first pronunciation associated with the north of England and the northern working class, while the second is associated with the south and the middle class Phrases Posh? I don't think so. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/scone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
