AzirAphale001 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I've had this argument discussion many times before, so I thought I'de take it to a wider audience. Who here says 'scone' (as in 'gone') and who says 'scone' (as in 'stone)? (If this has worked then there will be a poll)EDIT: Didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagrant0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's pronounced like "one", don't you people know nothing? Not really, but maybe it made you consider that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michlo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 It depends on where you are from in the UK (and then who you copied it from if you're not from there :P). Up in the North we say it as in gone. In the South, since they think they're posh, they say it as stone. It doesn't really matter, people will know what you mean although there is the infamous "Stone of Scone" for the Scottish throne and that is usually pronounced as stone. Mirriam's and dictionary.com show it being pronounced both ways Mirriam'sPronunciation: \ˈskōn, ˈskän\ Dictionary.com<h2 class="me">scone</h2> var interfaceflash = new LEXICOFlashObject ( "http://cache.lexico.com/d/g/speaker.swf", "speaker", "17", "15", "http://cache.lexico.com/g/d/speaker.gif /skoʊn, skɒn/ http://cache.lexico.com/g/d/dictionary_questionbutton_default.gif Show Spelled Pronunciation [skohn, skon] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
