No..garaaage is right...its nothin to do with the canadian in you, its cos youre southern and therefore not a dirty northern peasant who cant speak proper english

)

Scone as in tone always comes before scon in the phonetics description in a dictionary therefore it must be more right :cool:

You didn't look at that Cambridge Dictionary link I posted, Scone(tone) is posted as a US pronunciation.

Ahh well then im surrounded by the dirty northern peasants even down here in London

Skon.
Blackstar - I've never heard a Scottish person say it any other way, so you were almost certainly right the first time.

Sadly there are also peasants in london....the home counties and the better areas of london all pronounce it correctly.

You there! Yes you, stop eating your pretentious doughsnack!

I said it as scone when it was in quotation marks like that. I usually say skon though.

In America a Scone is known as a Biscuit (Bis-ket or Bis-kit)
(You get them with your meals in Cracker Barrel)

its just cone with an S in front of it, after all.

Same reasoning that I use for saying scone

Surely it'd be s-con if it was pronounced that other way - like 'con' with an 's' in front although saying that could be like 'gone' but with an 'sc'...

Hmm, confusing myself now dammit

CF93 · 30 May 2006 at 15:18

Near where I grew up there is a palace called Scone Palace...for that it's pronounced "skoon".

But I would say "skon" for the scones you eat....
