Scon instead of scone ?

[I1L2T3 10]

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.

It's a scon in many parts of the North west as well

Equally though you wouldn't say gone instead of gon.

 

...and then there's DONE which has a sound all its own. It's almost as if the South and the North reached a compromise

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!

[Hairyloon 10]

What is the correct way?

 

Easy. It's a scone, but once eaten it's scone.

I suppose that it is about time to throw "The Stone of Scone" into the affray?

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.

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?
