How do you pronounce scone?

[MissCommando]

I personally think it's 'cone' with an s in front but more people say it to rhyme with gone. How about you?

[funnygirl]

Like it rhymes with stone.

[classylady60]

I always pronounce it scone as in gone....just the way I prefer it I guess.

[joggerjayne]

It rhymes with "gone"

[Katie~77]

Same s Classy. Ssssss gone!x

[ChuckFickens]

I'm not bothered as long as you put some clotted cream and jam on them :)

(I normally say it to rhyme with gone, but there isn't a right and wrong way)

[MissCommando]

But JJ - you don't say con for cone do you?!

[dotty.]

It's a scone as in gone, scone as in tone is proper pretentious, they do packs of 12 in asdas for 38p and they're brilliant.

[ummmm]

Scone like gone...

[supersuezy24]

I made scones today!!!
Sko-in

[Buenchico]

I'm a goner ;-)

(The OED says that either is correct)

[joggerjayne]

What's the fastest cake in the world ?

Sssssss .. gone !

(it works better when you say it out loud)

Speaking of which ... what's the loudest cake in the world ?

Mmmmeeeerrrrrrrraaaaaaaannnnnnnnnggueeeeee !!!!!

(you have to say that one like it's a motorbike noise)

s-cone

and cream on first then the jam - non of this Devon crap of butter, jam, cream (yeeeuk) - just shows how bad their clotted is and why we down here now have EU trademark protection on the use of Cornish clotted cream, i.e. to stop such poor imitations

[RATTER15]

As a true Devonian and the humble Scone is an essential part of our traditional Cream Tea, ummm, I think I pronounce it both ways actually but most likely I use Scon more.

[4getmenot]

scon

[scotman]

I am in the 'gone' camp. Chambers agrees but also says - sometimes anglicized to the 'tone' option.

[DaisyNonna]

Depends whether it is something to eat or a place

[seadogg]

I believe the famous stone of scone in Scotland is pronounced skoon

[DaisyNonna]

Exactly seadogg.

This could be war DT!!! Butter!! I eat many cream teas from many different places, I have never heard of putting butter on a scone for a cream tea and to be honest Cornish cream is in every way identical to Devon cream and we also put the cream on first. Ive read that the Cornish cream tea is different, in all honesty there is no difference at all lol
