Poll: Scone or scone?

[Grab-bag]

Now, in england there is the never ending argument of wether the word scone is pronounced scone- rhyming with stone (Which it is!) Or scone- rhyming with one. It is scone rhymoing with stone as when it is just o-n-e, it is on sounding, but as soon as you add letters infront of this the sound becomes and Own sound. What do you think?!

(Note, you americans would call a scone a biscuit i think!)

 

[Revenge Revisited]

No, no. We Americans call a scone a scone. (Or at least I do.)
I'm not from the UK so I wouldn't really know, but I think it's "sc-own". I can't pronounce "sc-on" very well.

 

[orangebandguy]

Sc-on.

Sc-own makes me sound like a complete ass.

Scones are good with tea, but a rarely eat them anymore.

Rhyming with stone. Stephen Fry said it once...

/thread.

 

[Grayjack]

I say Sc-on. It sounds cooler, and it makes me feel smart.

*cough* posh English person, I am *cough*

it's scon, rhyming with "on".

I would greatly apreciate this being a poll option.

Rhyming with stone is his how I pronounce it, but that's just me.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Bah I say! I shall call it a Skwon!

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Bah I say! I shall call it a Skwon!

Does it rhyme with "one" or "stone?"

 

[DazZ.]

Sc-on.

I do say scown more though because I tend to put a posh accent on if eating one.

 

[dududf]

I say "Sc OWN"

So hypothetically, if I was playing CS and I had a Scone in my mouth, and I knifed some one with a shotgun aimed at me, then I'd shout enthusiastically "OWNED" but it'd be muffled to say "SCOWNED!"

And that is why I say Scone as Sc-own.

 

[RussetRanger]

I sometimes alternate, but most of the time I prefer it to rhyme with one. The one rhyming with own sounds....a bit bizarre to me.

I was trying to think of a good reason to call it sc-own, but damn thats a good answer.

I think sc-own makes you sound like a pompous upper class douche.

Sc-on seems more common, I like common.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Sc-own. Also, rhyming with one: scun? Wouldn't it rhyme with on, which has no e, and is therefore proving it wrong? IT'S WRONG.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Bah I say! I shall call it a Skwon!

Does it rhyme with "one" or "stone?"

Sk-won. One (1?)

Truthfully, I've never heard anyone say that. ScOWN is how I've ever heard it termed. Rhymes with cone, tone, phone, zone.... unless all those are also pronounced to sound like "one."

That's like saying 'isn't it' is pompous and middle-class, while 'innit' (chav-tastic) is the better way.

 

[xavierxenon]

I pronounce it Sc-on.

And thank you, because of this thread I want one now ;_;

Then we are at an agreement. Very good.
