I don't, I just point at them in the shop.

Aoifey!

If it was pronounced "s-con" then it'd be spelled scon.

But it's spelled scone, so it's pronounced "s-cone".

I pronounce it Scon mother****ers.

One of them buttery yokes.

Strawberry jam, Devon clotted cream the only way to have a scone

Skown

That other pronunciation is contrived to sound posh, like "a nistoric"

S-cone

i don't know why people pronounce it s-con, if english is your native language it's a pretty easy word to pronounce once you look at it.

DundalkDuffman

skown. As in the place name in Scotland.

Niles

Sch-own.

I asked the maid in dulcet tone
To order me a buttered scone
The silly girl has been and gone
And ordered me a buttered scone

Remove the S. Now pronounce the word you see.



Now put the S back.

i think that sums it up....

i actually have been known to say both, depending on the phrasing of the question...much like either ither...neither nither... (obviously misspelt for pronunciation sake, I know they're spelt the same regardless)

Doctor Jimbob

They're both valid. Look it up.

There's the Stone of Scone, a red sandstone block above which British monarchs are crowned.

Underneath St Edward's Chair, which is situated inside Westminster Abbey and has been used, since 1308, to seat the English and then British monarch during his or her coronation, there is a cavity in which the stone is supposed to be fitted.

The stone permanently resided in the cavity until 1996 when the thieving Scots nicked it and took it to Edinburgh Castle, saying they'll only return it on a temporary basis during coronations.

Anyway, the word "Scone" in "Stone of Scone" is pronounced like "skoon."

S-con is the Scottish pronunciation. Any idea where Scones were invented? Hint: it's north of England. :cool:

Of course you have the right to pronounce it any way you like, but how would you react if a tourist came to Dublin and ordered a pint of "Guy-ness" or "Gooey-ness"? Both are more phonetic pronunciations, aren't they?

Uh no, not necessarily. There are a lot of words that are spelled entirely differently to how they're pronounced. Things are rarely written phonetically.

Bit of a logic fail there. How do you pronounce the number one? 'woahn'? Or gone? 'gohn'? It's not as if English is a phonetic language.

It always amuses me that 'Scon' is considered the posh pronounciation in Ireland. In England, it's the opposite.

I still get a little giggle when I think of a classmate who used to say in this thick bogger accent, "shkoo-aawns" (or at least that's the best approximation I can get to how he said it)

dunno what's the proper pronunciation, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't it

You can say skown if you like, but it's not how you pronounce the product that originated in Scotland. And if you were talking about Scone Palace, you'd say Scoon!

"I could have sworn I put that sword somewhere, I'll need to use my knife to cut this knish instead."

Tanks a million and goodnight!

S-con.
People who pronounce it s-cone smell of poo.

Pretty Polly

I think it just depends what part of the country you are from. Its the same with the pronunciation of the words cook and book.

s-cone, s-con is usually from boggers who say "sh" instead of "s" , and pronounce meat as mate, or tea as tae, shudder.

Gordon

Skown is how the English say it, so it's probably been from their influence that the word is pronounced incorrectly in Ireland now.

stimpson

Being from de northside I'm contractually obliged to call it a Skooow-wen

Jordan 199

Scone. I sure would like one now.

brummytom

Scone, as in gone or one.


Anyone who pronounces it any other way should be shot in the head, the posh cúnts.

LH Pathe

Kadent

Broads.ie
