Its a SCONE ffs! A scon is punching somebody in the top of the head!

Has to be scon

Just did a survey in the office, only early and not many people in, but 22 of 24 people said SCON :slayer:

Note: of the two that said Scone, one is a posh lad from Byker (yeah, I didn't think they existed either?) and the other... she's from 'daun souf'.

Take the word CONE (KOWN) and do this simple formula:

CONE

Cone + S = CONE S

Carry the S to the front so you have:

S CONE

S + CONE

= SCONE



There's nothing in that formula that says anything about changing of pronounciation. Or have I got it all wrong and you're supposed to pronounce CONE as CON?

Man, I'm smart.

Since when has spelling and pronounciation been related to each other in the engligh language? i mean a g in through?? a silent g sound just incase!! you say throu but spelt through so why must scone be said scone?? when its blatantly SCON!!!

Scon sounds how a French person might say it :nono: Besides, scones winning Or maybe this poll will reflect on what classes of people are on this Forum :chin: I've been called posh for saying scone, whereas I think scon sounds posh. Infact, it sounds posh and French

No doubt scone people mow the grarse, have a barth, and occasionally larf!. Me? I cut the grass, have a bath and laf! (at you who call it a scone)

ahhhh

but thats a french word so you use their announciation

scone is english

 

[alexGS]

Well, here in NZ I've never heard anyone call it anything other than a 'scon'.

I was the odd one out at school because I drew on 'grarf' paper. Then eventually someone from South Africa arrived, and called it the same thing.

But I still cut the 'grarse' and so do most other people here although over time that 'ar' sound reduces...
