Jolene Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Okay, I have a question. What would you call the bread product in this picture (not the filling, just imagine the bread, the round shaped bread thing. It's just ordinary plain bread): In Britain there are around 100 million ( nearly!) different names for it depending on where you live. It causes much confusion! I would call it a teacake, being from Yorkshire. Some call it a bread roll, or a barm cake, or a bap, or a stottie cake. I have had arguments with friends over this!! What about other countries? In Oz we would call it a bread roll,unless it was a really dense bread, then it may be a panini (like Rosinakiwi said) I say sconn too - but have a place with the same name - and itspronounced scoon!!! You would get laugfhed at for being posh if you said schown, but we have a town here (somewhere!) and you pronounce it the posh way (even though it's a small town in the middle of nowhere!)

artsyfartsy17 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Haha, but I live in the UK and say sconn. You can't win AF! Psssch....It's spelled scone. It should be pronounced scone. I'd understand if the E wasn't at the end, but it is. LEARN YOUR PHONETICS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Oh yeah, then how do you justify 'herbal' WITHOUT THE H??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsyfartsy17 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I said HHHHerbal, when I was a kid, but the flawed society we live in broke me of that habit. I'm a victim, damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 *raises skeptical eyebrow* Aren't we all... And it is scon. You know us british, we add unnecessary letters all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsyfartsy17 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I refuse. I'll keep saying scone. Especially now that a UKer said she pronounced it scone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I pronounce everything wrong. I pronounce the "l" in salmon. I pronounce the "h" in herbs. I pronounce "southerner" as "south-er-ner" not "suth-er-ner" haha And I pronounce "Graham" as "Grey-ham" haha And I'm not changing my pronunciations now, that'll only confuse me.

englishrose Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Artsy: according to the sound clip on Wiktionary, it is SCON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosinaKiwi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Wow... I wouldn't mind seeing that! (though I'd find it disturbing if my dad did that - good thing is he can't cook pancakes!) That wouldn't be the Toyota ad with the dog, would it? (Love that ad...) Though, I was a little concerned when they took an ad down in NZ that had a model in her undies and holding a toy rhino, and a caption that read "Feeling horny?"... yes it would be the toyota ad, (also love it especially the hunterway at the end) Im unsure of the other add you are refuring to? I ponounce things funny, but its just because of our accent, WE say Scon rhymes with gone work like werk we all pronounce the h in herb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well I pronounce those the same way and I haven't got a Kiwi accent (unfortunately)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelzy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Omg, thank you.Got into a silly argument over this word one night with some aussies. *glares at Baby and Kelzy* They kept telling me that it was "sconn" instead of "scohwn" and that only americans pronounced it the other way. (Because everyone knows we're silly gits who don't know how to talk.) And you live in the UK! That's wonderful. *does an in-your-face dance at the aussies* yo yo yo yankee girl!! I wasn't part of that argument,, but had I of been there I would've been saying that!! *flicks boogers at Artsy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, get a plate of warm scones and take a deep breath. After all, we're online. No matter how we pronounce it, it's spelled the same, and none of us can actually hear each other.
