How do you pronounce “scones”?

[HappydaysArehere]

Daft I know but interested since my friend and I realised we were pronouncing scone or scones differently. I was calling them “scons “ and she “scones”. Is there a correct way?

Both are correct, although people will tell you otherwise.

I say scons. The other way sounds a bit hyacinth bucket to me...

To rhyme with ice cream cone.

But we used to say sCONEs until they're all S gone!

It is a scone til you eat it then it's skon. ( Gone!!)

Scons.

Scone to rhyme with cone but both ways are fine. I also don't think it matters whether you put jam or cream first.

Some of these have a right answer (think/thing coming for example) but scone has two pronunciations.

We in the Scone (gone) Party are bitterly opposed to those in the Scone (come) Party and disavow everything they stand for.

We in the Scone (gone) Party invite all liberal, right minded people to join us and help make this country great again..

(Obviously ignore the vicious in-faction fighting between those members who espouse the inclusion of dried fruit and those members who consider this an abomination and an infringement of basic human rights!)

Apparently, the pronunciation is a geographical legacy.
American English has widened the use of scone pronounced to rhyme with cone but some area of U.K. already said it thus.
I think some areas say it almost as skoon.

I have scons. I think there isn’t a correct way to pronounce it.

@CherryPavlova the pronunciation 'Skoon' is in references to the place outside of Perth. I'm 100% on the scone (gone) team.

Scone (gon) is a place near Perth in Scotland.
They have a stone (own) of Scone (goon) , they have a graveyard with lots of bones (owns) and they sell scones (gones)!

Honestly (on)!!

Always scons. The other pronunciation is an abomination.

Thank you all. This reminds me of that song “. You say “ether” and I say “ither....let’s call the whole thing off.

It's scon. It has to be or you can't do the joke (What's the fastest cake? Scone)

This will answer a lot of your questions.

As in rhymes with gone. My dh always disagrees and it’s something we argue about

Scone (gon) is a place near Perth in Scotland.

That's Scoon!

Scone (gone) is the correct pronunciation of the thing you have with jam and cream (perhaps some people from SW England might have some comments about that too?)

I pronounce it “scon” (as in “gone”)

I always think people are joking when they say scone! Surely it's scon

Scon, everyone did where I grew up.

Scones to rhyme with Rolling Stones.

Scone to rhyme with gone

The Scottish half of my family say scons and the English say scones. I alternate and get confused!

It's Skon. 96% of people in Scotland say it that way and seeing as we invented them that makes us right.
