How do you pronounce "scone"? (lemmy.world)

I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I'm team 'skon' whereas my husband is team 'skone.'

Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

I go with skon, for I am common as muck and not ashamed of it. I won't judge you if you say skone, but I will think you're posh.

The thing about that is everyone believes the way they don't pronounce it is the posh way.

Where I grew up, calling it skon would get you labelled posh.

But I am common as muck. I haven't met an H I haven't dropped and I'm proper Bermondsey and Millwall. And it's a "skone". In fact the only people who call it a "skon" in my experience in deepest darkest Saaaaaaaf Laaaaaaandaaan are posh cnuts.

Spock has a cat. Your argument is invalid.
