skon, dont like posh accents

Y'know, makes me laugh. I'm a northerner, proud of it, yet if I said that I had made something, phentically I'd say "I'd med it".

The higher class would mock and laugh at me, say I was thick, stupid, perhaps point an sneer, whilst they ate their "Skon's" with a cup of tea.

What pillock said that saying "Skon" was for posh people? What utter tosh.

Well all I'll say on the matter is that it's "SCONE", there are two vowels surrounding a constantant and thus you emphasise the last vowel.

Home, Dome, Made, Cake, Plate, Same, Life, Phone

Not Hom, Dom, Mad, Cak, Plat, Sam, Lif or Phon.

Speaking of which, think I'll have one now.

scone that rhymes with tone

i also say muffin though, when everyone else calls them baps/barms/etc.....but in american films etc, they call them "english muffins"

The correct way is "skon", and I might add that I am a little posh however - Scone is the v posh way, without doubt.

I say sc-own, and sc-on to me sounds rather posh. It's weird how people think that the other is posh and refuse to accept that their method is too, and then you get into a discussion of people trying to say scone in a really cool way and then going "yeh you hear that, that's not posh" to try back it up

If a letter E is on the end of a word ( separated from a vowel by one consonant ) the the vowel takes the hard sound

so Sc-own

Quoted for the truth.

Up norf it's always been Scone.

Sconage here.

Bunka · 30 May 2006 at 01:38

Some people are saying that "skon" sounds posh, and others are saying that "Sk-own" is also the posh version. :confused:

Pfft im from west yorkshire and it is definately SKON, where abouts in West Yorkshire are you from? We may be able to come up with an explanation for your miss-use of the english language.

I reckon he was on about med, not skon.

Obviously he's wrong on both counts
