Inspired by Ralph's post, I know there are two ways of pronouncing scones. But which way do you do it? VOTE!

And don't get me started on Frome! It's Rome with an F at the start OBVIOUSLY not room preceded by an F as most of the world seems to think it is!

I pronounce scones the correct way. As all right thinking people do.
And cream first. Always. We're not savages you know.

And H-erb not erb! There's an H there! on that note I've always been curious about the American pronunciation of warrior, which always seems to come out as woy-er on tv. And of course aluminium, which loses the fourth syllable. |

I was watching an episode of the animated Star Trek show today and everyone was pronouncing Orions as OH-REE-ONS. Very distracting.

Negative. You are both as wrong as a giant Wrong Thing that's being exceptionally wrong about something whilst wearing sillly looking trousers and a T-shirt that says 'I AM WRONG' on it and being Very Wrong.

I reject the way you pronounce 'wrong' and therefore your opinion on the matter of scones.

There is a third pronunciation when you factor in the Perthshire village Scone which is pronounced SCOONE.

Not to the people of Scone.
