What's the correct pronunciation of "scone"? One that rhymes with "bone" or one that rhymes with "gone"?

Answer 3

Pronunciation Of Scone

Answer 4

Well, I must have been pronouncing one of them wrong all my life because I say bone and gone rhymes so therefore I'd say scone rhymes with both.

But, I looked it up. Each is pronounced as follows:
Gone=gawn, gan
Bone=bon
Scone=Skon, Skan

So, it looks to me it can go either way cuz gan/skan or bon/skon.

Answer 5

Scone (Rhymes with Bone) is how its pronounced properly.

There`s a North / South divide on this.

In the south we call them Scones ( Rhymes with Gone)

In the North it Rhymes with Bone.

The same goes for the word "Book"

In the South, Book rhymes with Hook.

In the North, it rhymes with Luke!

Answer 6

"Itsy Bitsy Spider" (also known as "Incy Wincy" or "Eency Weency Spider") is a popular nursery rhyme that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends and reascends the downspout of a gutter system (or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot). It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song. The first published version was in 1962, though it is believed to have existed as a folk song before that. The lyrics come in various versions: The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain, and washed the spider out. Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain So the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again. The most common version of the song that most people sing would be: The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout. Down came the rain, and washed the spider out. Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again. or Incy wincy spider climbing up the spout. Down came the rain, and washed poor Incy out. Out came the sunshine, and dried up all the rain So Incy wincy spider climbs up the spout again. Recitation of the rhyme is often combined with actions representing the words. For the first (and last) line, alternately touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other. For "Down came the rain" hold both hands up and wiggle the fingers as you lower the hands. For "washed the spider out" sweep the hands to the side. For the third line bring both hands up and then to the sides to sweep out a semi-circle (the sun). There is a second, less well-known verse. Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the tree. Down came the snow and made poor Incy freeze. Out came the sunshine, and melted all the snow So Incy Wincy Spider had another go. k1

Answer 7

It depends on where you're from.

Most people say it as thought it rhymes with 'bone', but there are some areas in the UK where they say it as though it rhymes with 'gone'.

Sooo, both are correct, but most people use the 'bone' pronunciation.

Answer 10

The correct pronunciation MUST be the one that rhymes with bone, and I think you'll find it's only the association with a load of p-elegant queens that causes all the posh people to use the 'gone' rhyme.
