USAGE
There are two possible pronunciations of the word scone：the first rhymes with gone and the second rhymes with tone. In US English the pronunciation rhyming with tone is more common. In British English， the two pronunciations traditionally have different regional and class associations. The first pronunciation tends to be associated with the north of England， and the northern working class， while the second is associated with the south and the middle class. In modern British English， however， it has become fashionable among certain middle-class people to adopt the first pronunciation.
