I’m visibly disturbed when someone pronounces it as “scone” as in “on” instead of *scone* as in *cone*
I say it as rhymes with cone, but since there is a town in Scotland called Scone – was it named after that, and so isn’t their way the original pronunciation?
How do we stand on the pronunciation of tissue? Tishew vs Tiss-ewe.
I refuse to believe that anyone in Roscommon pronounces it scone as in gone
Scone as in cone, not scone as in gone. Jam first them cream.
It’s pronounced scone as in Tony!
Sc-own
I generally say it so it rhymes with cone.
Of all the issues facing us, the “scone” pronunciation debate is obviously the most urgent.
I lived in Scotland and the first time my workmates heard me say scone (rhyming with cone) I took a slagging and they called me a posh cunt 😂. I’m far from posh.
Scone (rhyming with one) is correct to them 🤷🏻♂️
Scone rhymes with cone. I’ll fight anybody who disagrees
Scawn
Since we’re talking about this, does anyone else get irrationally annoyed when people on tv pronounce medicine as “med-sin”?
Remember it’s bike not bikey as some Nike wearers tell you “check out my new nikeys”
Another is that Fridge has D in it and Refrigerator doesn’t !!!
gone like a fresh Scone. ‘Scon’ is the only correct way to say it. and while, as mentioned below, the Scottish town of Scone is definitely pronounced as Scoon (/ˈskuːn/), it went through a lot of spelling changes over the centuries. I recommend to take a tour of the castle and grounds, where any one of the lovely guides will tell you the exact same thing.
further note: Wiki lists previous spellings: ‘Scone has been written as Scon, Scoon, Scoan, Scoine, Schone, Skoon, Skune, Skuyn, Skuyne, Sgoin, Sgàin and Sgoinde’, which are pretty far from the ‘cone Scone’ pronunciation you have been falsely utilising. 😉
The scones are going and the scones are gone.
As a Jock living in Galway, ive had many knife fights over this.
When you get it first it’s a scone, and then when you eat it…….
It scone 😂
I pronounce it, “Sk-1.”
Fight me.
As a dub, I thought it was Scoaane
Its clearly pronounced “scone”
If it was pronounced scone then why is it spelled scone? Checkmate!
The only one that’s worse is Nuclear. It drives me up the feckin walls when people pronounce it Nuc-ya-lur. Where are yis getting the ya from?
Where do we stand on sixth/sickth???
If it was “scone” it would be “sgone”.
It’s “scone” as in “how’s it goin,scone?”
Decent content is back! This is quality.
this is some weird-looking climate model
That seems about right
So VCe will always make the V long.
Pine the I says it’s name
Prune the U says it’s name
Game the a says it’s name.
Scone the o says it’s name.
Debate over
Lol, which pronunciation is it then, Scone or Scone?
I’m guessing you meant rhymes with cone or bone. I’d be in agreement.
Where I come from, the rhymes with gone option doesn’t exist. It either rhymes with cone or con.
