I've heard both with equal frequency, the difference is probably due to regional or generational variations.

I'm from the Midlands but live in the US. I say sk-own. My hubby says sk-on. But seeing as I'm English I win :)

I've heard it both ways from British friends!
I think this falls into the "you say toe-may-toe, I say toe-mah-toe" category!
