"Really grinds my gears anyone not pronouncing it to rhyme with bone. I’ve called the police on people for this before."
I have a simple rhyme to remind me which is the right way ..
“Skon’s Wrong”

A YouGov survey has revealed that most people agree the correct way to say 'scone' is when it rhymes with 'gone' rather than 'bone'. Research reveals that most Britons (51%) pronounce it to rhyme with 'gone' with around four in ten (42%) rhyming it with 'bone'. Nov 2016 |

Depends on the company I’m with.
If I’m mindful of who I’m around it’ll be as ‘gone’ but if I’m with my own little crowd, it’s as ‘cones’.
We will never know the right way.

".. do you pronounce it “scone” or “scone”?
Me, I pronounce it “scone”.
Scone obviously because that’s the correct pronunciation  "
Don’t be daft, it’s definitely “scone”! |

I know that, but it's classified as a Village, and is part of Perth & Kinross Council coverage.

Then why argue over it being a palace?  it’s literally 20 minutes from my front door. Google it, it’s classed as a town |

I have relatives there who say it's a Village, always has been, plus my google checks say likewise.
It has parliamentary status under said Council I mentioned before.
But, different data sources have different views, so it's a case of beg to differ! |

“Scone is a town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The medieval town of Scone, which grew up around the monastery and royal residence, was abandoned in the early 19th century when the residents were removed and a new palace was built on the site by the Earl of Mansfield.”
There’s people in my town who call it a city it doesn’t make it a city, it was a cathedral city many moons ago the only part left that refers to the old city is the football club

As said, different sources produce varied results.
The "town" element of Scone relates to Perth, which has built up over the years to the south of the village, and under Council rules for the area, Scone is classified as a suburb of Perth.
Additionally, under past Censuses, Scone is designated as a Village, and recognised by the Scottish Parliament as such.
But as said, it's how different views are held and expressed. |

"So do we pronounce bone as bon or stone as ston?
No?
Good. Get a grip "
Pronunciation varies for many words in different regions or dialects. I'm not sure why anyone needs to "get a grip" here. It doesn't matter. |

"Scone as in gone.
Unless it's the place name, in which case it is Scone pronounced scoon!
Nope."
Great bump!
I still think it’s pronounced “scone”, not “scone”.
Think about it, “scone” makes sense whereas “scone” doesn’t. |
