How do you pronounce "scone"?
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.

Grew up in Yorkshire where we will shorten anything but an "o" sound, which instead becomes very long. So scone rhymes "stone", with extra "o".

This is some serious analysis!
Same here. Always used to associate the short o scone with "posh" people.
I love the map, thanks for sharing, it's an interesting visualisation
