How do you pronounce "scone"? (lemmy.world)

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.

I’m from the Derbyshire Dales and my partner is from West London and we’re both team skone, thankfully.

When I was in home counties it was "sk-oh-n" but then I lived further north and later Gloucester area where it's been "sk-on". I don't care really so just go with the flow.

Definitely skone. Never heard anyone say skon. But I'm also on the west coast of the US, so that's likely a factor.

EDIT: Just noticed which community I was in. Oops.
