Miss Pronunciation XIV

Miss Pronunciation Bakes Up A Storm

 Things are hotting up in the kitchen for the opening of Margaret Fulton: Queen of the Dessert and Miss Pronunciation is sticking to the theme.

Her lovely friend and favourite artist, Ms. Lamb - of American-Australian heritage, has queried the following:

Scone - does it rhyme with Joan or John?
 

Both are deemed acceptable; however (yes, there is always an however), were I to be quite precise, in a 1998 poll 65% of British English speakers preferred the John version, with the rest preferring Joan.

Take your pick, Ms. Lamb! Just remember to follow Margaret Fulton’s advice “For soft scones, wrap in a tea towel as soon as they come from oven. For crusty scones, do not wrap, cool slightly on a wire rack”.
