SHOCKING NEWS FROM the UK today about these little delights.
These scones… are the pronounced scohne, or scon?
It’s a debate that will penetrate the ages without ever landing at a conclusion.
Well, the smartasses over in the UK think they’ve got it sorted
In a poll by YouGov, a UK research company, people have decided that most say scon, as in, ‘gone’.
Their research suggests that it’s pronounced by 51% of the British population, so it’s a close call.
Four in ten people use the ‘cone’ pronunciation.
But what we really need to know is how Ireland pronounces it.
So, what’s it gonna be?
Poll Results:
scone, as in bone. (3788)
scon, as in gone. (495)
