Scone ends with an e, therefore making the vowel before it, a hard sound, so Scone should be pronounced to rhyme with Stone.

More words ending in 'one' having the inflection going down as in 'own' than upwards as in 'on'.

But a scone is a scon, dammit.

If I ate each and every scone until there were none - would that be "nun" or "n-own"

There's not an English pronunciation definitive on this - hence the fun as everyone is right really!

Should Slough be pronounced sloff just because cough is not pronounced cow?

I think you need to read the thread more carefully. And this time take note of the jokes about the intricacies of our language that you apparently missed.

In any case the 'u' thing still makes no sense."

I'm not sure I get your point. This whole thread is meant to be a joke, isn't it?

"Bit posh, scone, vase, bath and vase all pronounced in old English.

Arse is arse not ass.

Still prop the bar up and have a drink with the lads though, just moved about a bit xx"

Did they have a bath in Old English?

where did the 'U' ever come from?!

No, it's scone.

How a word is spelt is only a guide to how it's pronounced.

Is minute a period of time or something very small

Is polish a description of what Germans do to their boots or the description of the people from a country often invaded by the Germans.

Have you read this post or are you going to read it later?

"

A minute is one sixtieth of a degree which is a minute portion of a circle.

Germans? Polish?? Nein, sie polieren ihre Schuhe!

Snakes SLOUGH their skins, and as I think it THROUGH, that should be ENOUGH of an example as to how to pronounce SLOUGH. (THOUGH I could be wrong!)

Ah, the rules of English spelling and pronunciation!

gone (as in it's "gon" )

none (as in there are "non")

done (consider it "Don" (sounds like a duck) or consider it "dun"?)

That's where the "u" came from ...Don and dusted!

"Scone ends with an e, therefore making the vowel before it, a hard sound, so Scone should be pronounced to rhyme with Stone. "

So like GONE then?

Personally I don't really mind whether the jam or cream comes first, I'll take it what ever way it comes. However if I'm doing it myself then, if it's clotted cream, then it's cream first but, if it's whipped cream, then it's jam first.

But I absolutely insist that it's milk (full fat) first before the tea is poured
