I saw this on Mastodon posted by @[email protected] and figured that it was appropriate for this community and absolutely not controversial in any way shape or form.

This is interesting. In Australia we only ever pronounce it rhyming with gone.

I wouldn't say it rhymes with gone, but it's very close. For me, "gone" would be /gɒːn/, while "scone" would be /skɒn/. The difference being the length of the vowel.

They’re the same vowel sound in my accent.
