How do you pronounce Scone?

Pace2008

Alright here we go. According to the OED, which, I assume, both speakers of Hiberno and British English will agree is the foremost authority on the correct usage of our vernacular, we are all right:

There are two possible pronunciations of the word scone: the first rhymes with gone and the second rhymes with tone. In US English the pronunciation rhyming with tone is more common. In British English the two pronunciations traditionally have different regional and class associations, with the first pronunciation associated with the north of England and the northern working class, while the second is associated with the south and the middle class.

S-cone. Scon is a primary school era verb meaning the same as "shift" or "meet" or whatever the young people call it these days.

There's the Stone of Scone, a red sandstone block above which British monarchs are crowned.

Underneath St Edward's Chair, which is situated inside Westminster Abbey and has been used, since 1308, to seat the English and then British monarch during his or her coronation, there is a cavity in which the stone is supposed to be fitted.

The stone permanently resided in the cavity until 1996 when the thieving Scots nicked it and took it to Edinburgh Castle, saying they'll only return it on a temporary basis during coronations.

Anyway, the word "Scone" in "Stone of Scone" is pronounced like "skoon."

Yup.

As the OP's post had the word capitalised ie, Scone, I naturally assumed that he meant the place, not the biscuit, as WE call it ;=)
