He's saying "tomato - tomahto". If you're in the UK - they'll still
know what you're talking about if you pronounce it one or the other.
Equate it with the state called Nevada (the correct way) and NeVAHda
(completely wrong).

It's a Spanish word and Spanish speaking people would disagree with you.

You could pronounce it either way in front of my face and get no reaction
from me - not a single indication about how I feel about it. My guess is
that yoose guys would be squirming like a toad. Yes sir, I'm a pretty
special kind of guy. My policy is to never use that word at any time.

Can you articulate why the shape matters? I can see clear differences
in the ingredients (scones vs. biscuits), but I can't see why the
shape matters. Drop biscuits are no particular shape at all, although
they are round-ish.

There are still some people around who know how to speak English
properly. Most of the people I know pronounce Wednesday as it is
spelled. Those who pronounce it Wensday tend to mispronounce a lot of
other words too.

Do you find double letters like ll and ss difficult too?

It might be regional. Practically everybody around here pronounces
it Wensday, regardless of educational level. Watch the Addams
Family some time, and listen to the actors pronounce
"Wednesday Addams".

Do you pronounce it Wed-ens-day or Wed-ness-day (or something else)?

It probably doesn't matter a heck of a lot, though cutting them allows
them to be formed in one shot without having to roll up the in between
bits and doing them again.

Drop biscuits are a little different from regular biscuits, which are
usually cut with a crinkled edge.

Absolutely. It's not as if I hate them but I'm not looking

Music *can* come out of bagpipes. Not that it has anything to do with
scones.

Bagpipes are not always harsh.

There's this beautiful music out of bags and pipes:

James Horner died in a plane crash a few years ago. That's very sad.
He was one of the great orchestrators of wonderful movie music. I love
a good sound track.

Scones are so easy even a non-baker can't go wrong. That's why they're
the first recipe taught in school cookery classes... success is
guaranteed :-)

I really should try them. All I know is don't twist the cutter,
just like with biscuits. I won't be making them in the immediate
future (small hand injury) but I'll set a reminder. I like raisins,
is that a common ingredient? Do you have a recipe that you would
share? You know, the easy one from early school cookery days. heh

Ms. O, this is the deliciously hilarious "Scones Scene", from the infamous 1968 ******* - themed film _The Killing of Sister George_. Mercy Croft, the starchy BBC executive in the hat, is played by Coral Browne, who a bit later became Mrs. Vincent Price!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB1ZNV5xXtE

Question to Ms. O or anyone: are "Scotch scones" as referenced in this clip a spec -i - AL - ity of Scotland, or...???
