So how do you pronounce it?

Like it's spelt Sconn?

Or like cone with an S on the front?

How do you say Maroon ?

It annoys me greatly. Some people say sconn, some say scone. I often have to refrain myself against people who say the latter, then make out that they're right

Very much this! For all you 'sconn'ers, you only have 'gone' in your corner.

Ronnie Irani is one of the worse for it, him and Phil Clarke off Superleague, both asrh-rough Lancashire accents that have had a broadcarsting makeover (if you close your eyes when Clarke is on he sounds just like Irani) Plarster, Glarses, Disarster.

It's the Stone of Sconn, anything else would make it sound like it was off a nursery rhyme.

How do you pronounce 'tomato'? How about 'potato'? English is such a ridiculous beast, it takes many forms - most of which make no sense and have little consistency.

Anyway, it's probably a scottish word and they ALL pronounce it 'sconn'. So there.

Scone to Ryhme with Gone. Anyone who ryhmes it with "Cone" is just trying to sound posh. Wrong, the queen says "Scon" I asked the maid in dulcet tone To order me a buttered scone The silly girl has been and gone And ordered me a buttered scone

Plarster is a strange one - a lot of people around here (Calderdale) and up towards Bradford pronounce it that way.

Only Plaster though.... weird.

Anyway.
