I1L2T3 10 #5 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?

Ms Macbeth 75 #8 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lectrolove 10 #11 Posted August 2, 2017 It's a scone! Unless you're a posh Southern numpty, but what do they know? I'm a Southern numpty and I've always said scone. My Scottish mother-in-law, on the other hand, said scon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
metalman 21 #12 Posted August 2, 2017 Why do someone say scon ? You wouldn't say bon instead bone. Equally though you wouldn't say gone instead of gon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
