I grew up with "sconne", but if I used that pronunciation at
my local Starbucks they'd look at me like I'd grown a second
head. Now I say "scoane" without thinking much about it.

It was interesting to learn that the UK numbers their
social classes. I googled for "C2DE social grade",
since the Telegraph assumes one knows what that means.
I can't decide if I'd be an A or a B. "Professional" is
so vague. Probably a B. A's would be doctors and lawyers
and such, I imagine.

It's a demographic classification based on occupation, used in market
research etc.

No. Here YOU go again!

The "o" is pronounced like "dolt", a word I'm sure you are much more familiar
with.

Exception to prove the rule. The fact is, people say scone because
that's how it's how it's spelled. Unfortunately that doesn't stop
people from saying datta.

I never say scone or scon, so I don't actually care.

That would be right

We also have a Fingal here in Tasmania, the locals pronounce it in an
odd way: Fin-gall.

If it was spelled scon or sconn, we wouldn't be seeing surveys on
how it's pronounced.

So you say scon, here some people pronounce washing machine 'worshing'
Regional differences. (shrug)

I rarely have reason to bring up scones in verbal conversation.

I do have to say, the scones in that link look like US biscuits. The
scones I remember were patted out into triangular shape and griddled. I
don't think that article is talking about what I know as "scones" (no
matter how anyone pronounces it).

People say what? scone (like gone) or scone (like stone)? I can tell
you that we had the fairly often when I was a kid. My mother baked them
and both my grandmothers made them. My maternal grandmother was of
mostly Irish and Scottish blood and my paternal grandmother was from the
Nottinghamshire/Sheffield area of England. They all pronounced it
rhyming with gone. Here we are years later and people who never grew
up with nice freshly made scones(gone) are buying those super sweetened
things in Starbucks and calling them scones (stones) because they don't
know any better.

The scones I grew up with were always triangular or diamond shaped.
Those cloying sweet scones they sell in Starbucks are triangular. I was
surprised to see the things in that video being cut in circles. That is
a biscuit. Biscuit and scone recipes vary a lot, with scones tending to
be richer, but biscuits are round.

My English born grandmother was from the Nottingham/Sheffield area
which, according to that map, is where very few people same scone
rhyming with gone, but that is not how she said it.

I absolutely get how English came to be so tricky, I was merely
pointing out that it's hard to fault people for pronouncing a
word the way it's spelled. I certainly wasn't arguing that
gone shouldn't rhyme with phone. It breaks the rule, too. But
that's how it is, and I don't see any surveys How do you
pronounce gone?

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.
