How do you pronounce scone?

Mr. Psychologist · January 11, 2016, 03:59:46 PM

If you thought that the colour of your milk cap was important, it's completely trivial when it comes to the pronunciation of the word 'Scone'

So

Are you a blue-blooded southerner, full of class and culture?
Or a peasant from the northwilds, fit for shooting at and composting?

For the yanks, a scone is what you call a biscuit.

Scones aren't biscuits in America, they're a type of pastry.

Anyway, it's pronounced like cone.

I pronounce it correctly.

Scones and biscuits are different things.

People pronounce it any other way than the first option?

What kind of sick, twisted fuck would do such a thing?

Do you guys not have a word for what we call biscuits?

It seems like we Americans have a more diverse and precise vernacular than any of the rest of you.

Huh
Editing because my wording of that was dire

American Biscuits are pastry based then? Like a pasty or pie?
Rather than scones which are bread-cake based?

Because american biscuits look like a dead ringer for scones.
