I think the way you pronounce it sounds posher! Anyway, I cannot spend the morning arguing, I have crochet to wrestle with. So there.

I'm with you. I constantly argue with my housemate about it (see earlier post) - he thinks scone as in stone is posh!!!! Even when I say it in my best Black Country accent How is that possible?

We need to find out how the Queen pronounces it

I thought that people thought that that way was posher but it's not! If I said scon, I'd feel very uncomfortable about it as if I was trying to be summat I'm not :D Go, go wrestle AmelieB and come back with a good picture....... set your creativity free.........

Only just read this thread, but having met someone who works for Regia, it's Reg-ee-ah. (German company so they pronounce all the letters.)

 

It's Rowan's Cotton Glace that troubles me. No acute accent, so should it be pronounced in the French way (Glass-ay) or as written. (To rhyme with lace)? I've heard people from Rowan pronounce it both ways.
