How do you prnounce scone?
Major debate with my friends over the pronunciation of scone (yes, this is a million times more fun than gcse revision)
I personally pronounce it scohn as in 'gone' whereas they maintain that it is scone as in 'bone/cone'.
How do you guys say it and what do you think is the "proper" way?

I think the debate over pronunciation is solely a British thing.

The same way you do 
Like 'scon', but really it should be pronounced 'scone' because of the e on the end.
Scone as in cone. I think it's pretty much a north/south divide on this I think??

As in cone.
I don't even bother arguing with my friends over stuff like this as they're Scottish and pronounce things in all manner of weird and wonderful ways.

It's spelt 'scone', not 'scon'.
