Which way is right

Scone as in S-Cone - Or Scone as in S-Gone

Almond as in Al-Mond or Almond as in All-mond

Potato as in Pot ate oh or Potato as in Pot art oh

Scone - my gran was a Geordie and always used to make scones, so the only time when growing up that I heard the word was when she'd say "d'ye want a scoo-wan?"
Almond - neither. I say arl-mond.
Potato - are you having a fucking laugh?

3 out 4, I'm sure Shrewsbury has an "O" in it round my way.

Ha ha ha The potato one is purely in there from the old "I say potato you say Potarto" or "You say Tomater I say Tomato"


The real pressing ones are Almonds and Scones.

It must be S-cone.

The 'e' on the end makes you say the 'o' as the letter.

same with pipe, bone, cone, metronome...

The problem with the English language is that there is always an exception to a general rule. Scone being one of them.
