This I believe is an argument greater than the chicken and the egg. How do you pronounce scone? Do you pronounce it so it rhymes with "gone" or so that it rhymes with "cone".
I personally say scone so that it rhymes with "gone". The other sounds too posh.

I may never live this down but I say sone so it rhymes with cone.
I just tried it rhyming with 'gone' a few times and it makes my tongue feel wrong - it makes it try to reach the roof of my mouth - is wierd.

lol No really, I just say it both ways, I don't think about it, it depends how the people around me at that moment say it I think... But I'm just weird lol
Oh, and the egg came first cos it had to evolutionise (I made that word up, but you get what I mean ) before, and then some weirdo bird would have layed an egg then that evolutionised egg would be a chicken
It well annoyed me once someone called me posh for saying "skon", "scooooooown" sounds sooo much posher!

It is Scone as iin cone how can you say that is posh, I'm from South Yorkshire we probably have the least posh accent in the country (besides Scousers and Brummies lol) We don't talk posh at all, saying as in gone sounds wrong.
