Poll: Scone or scone?

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I kinda use both, it depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I get really posh, and go with sc-own, other times I'm a little less posh and go with sc-on.

I don't really ever eat enough to make it a problem though.

As a Southern American, I typically drink coffee more so than tea, but I do like my iced tea on a hot summer day. Tea for me is for relaxation after a hard day's work, and not meant for the middle of the day.

And I don't usually eat anything with my tea. When I do, it's usually cookies (or biscuits, as my British friends refer to them as) or a bit of watermelon when they're in season.

Ah hell yeah. I drink tea all year round. Too hot for normal tea? Iced tea! Hooray! The most refreshing drink ever.

YES! It's really good any time of year. Too cold for iced tea? OF COURSE IT ISN'T!

Seriously, nothing quenches thirst more than ice tea, what's in it? Fucking win that's what.

Sc-on.

Sc-own makes me sound like a complete ass.

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

Agreed. Besides, even if it isn't a Sc-on, then they should just say it anyway, it sounds better

 

[Plurralbles]

Sc-own if I wish to be sounding posh.
Sc-on any other time.

... I love your avatar it makes me think you're very confused why anyone would ever posta nything on a forum. I lawl every time.

Anyway, really? I've never heard it any other way than long o over here in teh states. But it is english thingy so... maybe we're wrong? We butcher your stuff fairly often.

A truer statement has never been made.

I say sc-own, and my dictionary agrees with me.

 

[Daveman]

it is "sc-on", it gives the correct pronunciation in the fucking dictionary (the OXFORD one of course http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/scone?view=uk), idiots. That's what the greek letters are there for! God I hate this argument. I'm posh and even I use a hard o.

Spoiler: what's the fastest cake in the world...

scone (say it quickly, it's sounds like "'s gone" har har har)

edit: just realised I ate one about 10 minutes ago, yay relevance?

 

[AvsJoe]

I've never heard scone rhyme with one. It always rhymes with stone.

yes, well right now it's "scone" like "on" or "gone". Says so in the oxford english dictionary so the definitive answer is that.
