[Jack]

According to OED, its pronounced "skon".

[ade]

YES! I knew I was right!

Cheers Jack!

[Jack]

I've always pronounced it "SconE" as I'm a southerner and have a tendency to pronounce words as they're written... although from now on I shall revert to "Skon" lol

[Dave.]

we had a huge argument in english about this today, the steacher said scone and we all said scon, it went on for about half an out, shouting and everything lol but we settled on scon :thumb:

[Stuart]

sKonE.... sounds even posher (or rather more normal, and less norven/inbred)

[dave.gsi]

scon(!) is right.............

scone is gay southerners. and we all know their all w.ankers lol


bath or baaaaarrrrth?

you know its bath!

[Jack]

Bath can be pronounced "bAHHth" or "bahth"

My mum pronounces "data" as "dah-tah" which really winds me up. Technically correct, but still sounds ghay.

[Dar]

Although it's spelt Bath its pronounced Baff. Only the seriously annoing say baaarrth.

The same people also say glass wrong.

I say skon as in s'gone.

Damn straight :D

[andrew1988]

ITS A SCONE!! NOT SCON! Its a cone, not a con. And as for saying scon because of the word gone, its a past tense adjective. Scone is a noun, whole different ball game

Never heard of a ball game called Scone. Is it like football or rugby?:confused:

OED says you're wrong :p

The function of a word doesn't affect its pronunciation either!

[Ash]

Damn it, now you ask I dont know!

sCONE, s-Kon, sCONE, s-Kon - fook knows

EDIT: Fairly sure I say s-Kon.

Saying that I used to say
G**** instead of GAS
Barth instead of bAth
etc lol

EDIT Again: lol stupid swear filter! Gars

[ade]

And as for the North South divide - North invented bread and all things cake like - As Oasis said - You gotta roll with it!

lol

Soon that score (and even the SOUTHERN OXFORD English Dictionary) says its SCON so must be.

[andrew1988]

OED knows s**t, its scone!

[mowgli]

for gods sake!!!!!

scone is present tense
scon is past tense
as in the phrase
'scone, scone, scon'
