...ahhhhahaha... *coughs* I had no idea that's how you pronounce it... There's an entire country over here that pronounces 'scone' so that it does not rhyme with 'gone.'

In fact, I'll point you to a page I found: [link] Click on the deal that gives the pronunciation...

Create because you must, and for no other reason.

Also, to quote my husband, who was looking over my shoulder just now:

Husband: ...Who the hell pronounces scone like that?!
Me: She's English.
Husband: You don't pronounce scone like that! It doesn't rhyme with gone! Do you pronounce 'cone' like 'con?' No! It's 'cone'! *He is now coming up with a conversation* "I'd like a scone" "A what?" "A scone." "A what?" "A scone." "A what?" "A scone." "A what?" "A f***ing scone!" "Oh. That'll be $3.50." "That's right. It's f***ng expensive. Because it's a f***in' scoooooooooone."
Me: ...
Husband: She doesn't know how to speak English.
Me: She IS English!
Husband: That's not English!
Me: Uh-huh.
Husband: ...What is a scone?
Me: O_O Do you even--Are you serious?!
Husband: I know it's a food.

I think I'll stop there. For everyone's sanity. Except my own, because he's still going on about scones...

I leave you now as he sings a song about wanting 10,000 gil...

O_O WTF? Short "o". Short I say! Like "gone" and "bomb" and "song" and "wrong" and...

Damn American site. *grumble grumble*

It is a certifiable fact that everything good in life is either illegal, amoral or fattening.

Ah, but why then is "gone" not pronounced like "cone"?
Isn't the English language beautifully random.

I'm getting the picture that "scone" (to rhyme with "cone") is the accepted American pronunciation. Like the way you completely miss out a syllable in "aluminium".

That said, I command you to get your husband a scone. With butter and jam and clotted cream. Tea with milk is optional (I don't drink the stuff myself) but he must experience the awesome that is a scone on a summer's day.

Ideally, he should have one of my grandmother's, but I'm not sure it would survive its trip across the Atlantic.

im guessing i never said scooone around you >_< i always say it wrong... actually im still only just getting over my scone trauma from school... we had these crappy cooking lessons and all we ever made was scones >_< except 1 lesson where we got to make our own thing... i made an icecream sandwich... i used a baguete in an attempt to keep it in place... yet i still messed it up... then it was back to scones again.. hmm i wonder if i contributed to that

Educate yourself, Read this.

As I was going to say myself- this really only works if by scone you mean the one that rhymes with Gone. The proper UK kind.
A 'ScOHne' scone, on the other hand, is this thing that's really just the recipe for frybread, done about the size of the palm of your hand, and then smeared in honeybutter. That's a Rocky Mountain thing. THEN it's a scOHne.

Such a random little couplet, but you are so very correct.

mm with lots of butter & homemade jam.

glad to hear you're feeling better

weekends away often do the trick !

It's only pronounced with a long 'o' when it's the Scone of Stone.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn.

I think you mean "Stone of Scone". And that's pronounced "skoon" (to rhyme with "spoon").
