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.

    Brought up in the home counties and it’s always been scone (bone) to me.

    Related controversy: café, one or two syllables??

        I would say it with two but I know plenty who say it caff!

        I feel bad for that é, it barely gets to do anything in English and then when it gets a chance people ignore it anyway smh 😔

          Well now I’ve been sent down a rabbit hole on borrowed words in English and am very upset that décor has been made so boring.

      Depends. If it’s a greasy spoon sort of place, then caff. If it’s a bit posh, then caff-ay
