Same letters same sound

Rong!

For example;

I wound the bandage around the wound.

Whatever pronunciation comes out of my mouth first. I’ve pronounced it both ways for as long as I can remember, for some odd reason.

Neither are posh or not posh

This. There’s a big element of geography.

Wife (Bolton) calls them scones to rhyme with own.

I (frozen wastelands of the M8 corridor) call them scones to rhyme with on.

I am clearly right here.

Scone sounds like cone. Same letters same sound.

Apart from the S of course. No desert for you.

skon.
jam and butter.

toasted.

scotland now, but from the midlans.

The question should be: ‘How does one pronounce scone’

Oh, and if you even think about putting the jam on first, I will hunt you down and kill you to death.

Only a colossal eejit would put the cream on first.

Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon.

Like bone.

Jam then loads of cream

Butter then jam

Never butter and cream – wtaf

Ron not phone.

“shibBOLeth”

Scone: Sk oo N

Ancient Capital of Alba…

To rhyme with ‘gone’, but I’m increasingly uncomfortable with that, and have been experimenting with the ‘rhymes with bone’ variation…

Oh, and it’s jam first. then cream. That makes it fancy/different/special, a cake. Y’know, with cream on top.

Cream is more or less the same as butter. Cream first means you’re treating the majestic scone just like a jam sandwich.

I say it so it sounds like cone and one

On what planet are they homophones?

Skon- not posh.

Scoon- posh.

To the Manx, it’s “skon” although my in-laws, who are from that Yorkshire pronounce it “scone” – like stone, in other words.

skoan

Skowoane if yam from the black cuntray

When people are putting skoon, are they pronouncing like soon? Cos that’s just **** crazy. It’s scone like stone. FACT!

Plain or with fruit in?

I’m a plain scone (rhymes with stone) with jam then cream type. Butter and fruit are a big no

skon

Skon

Tattie skon

Drop skon (Pancake)

Palace of Scone. Skoon

Scoane is for some English visitors and Scots with pretensions of grandeur. Jam cream butter goes on in whatever order is available. If someone else has the jam put on cream for maximum efficiency.

My nephew’s favourite joke about the fastest cake only works one way. I’m with him.

If you eat it, then it rhymes with gone. Cream is for soft southern shandy drinkers, real scones have butter and jam.

The castle rhymes with loon.

Skon ftw.

skoan and butter

My nephew’s favourite joke about the fastest cake

But is that a cake, or a meringue?

Usually skon, sometimes skown. I’m Scottish, my parents are from Leeds and the West Midlands.

Jam or cream first may depend on how firm the cream is.
