An age old question...

[Rich Boy Rob]

Ever since man first walked the earth one question has been on the lips of every human being: Scones, are they pronounced like cone or gone?
Personally, I've always said scone like gone.

Scone like cone. Sounds wonderful with an over-the-top fake Scottish accent.

 

[Daydream]

I say Scone like gone. Scone like cone sounds kinda posh. To me anyway. But maybe I'm just a common Northern lad. xD

 

[SIN1488]

I pronounce them like "Scoones", because I have this weird disorder that causes me to see one "o" as two. :shocked:

But no, I say scones like "Skohn-s". I guess it's easier just to say scones as in like "cones"...... :o

 

[Charizard★]

I say scones like cones :O
I've never heard anyone pronounce them like gone.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Like "Cone". Saying it like "gone" is actually a pet peeve of mine xD.

 

[King Gumball]

This thread confuses me but I guess I say scone like cone.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Since "scone" is "cone" with an "S" in front, I'd say it in the same way as "cone."

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I say it as "cone" and I quite honestly haven't heard of that other way of saying it. Not that I even hear scones talked about that often anyway, but...

 

[Eliminator Jr.]

I always say it as gone. I didn't even know so many people pronounced it as cone. I thought it was like how some people say cass-el, as opposed to car-sel when pronouncing castle, only people with weird accents pronounce it the former way.

I've always said it so it rhymes with "gone" because that's the way my parents say it. Although everyone else around me always told me I was totally wrong and that I'm stupid for pronouncing it incorrectly proves that only snobs pronounce it so it rhymes with "cone". I think it's something that varies by region, but I do know for a fact that the original pronunciation was the one that rhymes with "gone".

 

[Captain Hobo.]

I say scone like cone.

I think it would be wierd to say it like gone.

 

[Massacre.]

I always say it like Cone, if it was like Gone then I'd fail my spelling test.

 

['Zard]

It's pronounced "biscuit".

It's obviously /skəʊn/. Like "cone".

 

[Timbjerr]

I didn't know such an unremarkable pastry had such a debate over its pronunciation. I guess it must be a British thing. :/

Every time I've heard it pronounced, it rhymes with cone. XD

 

[Zeffy]

^

I've always heard it as "/scown/" and I will pronounce it as "/scown/" as in "cone".

 

[Aquacorde]

It definitely rhymes with cone here in Minnesota~

 

[Angelito.]

I say it as "cone" I've never heard someone say it as gone :o

 

[Gundisalvus Kuno]

Yeah, same as Angelito, I've never even heard anyone say it as gone let alone me

 

[Ninja Caterpie]
