Check out this map on how people across Ireland and the UK pronounce scone

How to pronounce scone is a contentious issue that can divide the closest of friends and yet is one argument that we just can seem to leave alone.

There are some who pronounce scone as if it rhymes with cone and there are those who pronounce scone as if it rhymes with gone.

This divide is clearly something that bothers people quite a bit because we now have actual, real data on who pronounces it which way.
