For no apparent reason, I found myself pondering which was the 'correct' or original pronunciation of the the word 'scone'. I pronounce it to rhyme with 'John'. Many peope pronounce it to rhyme with 'stone'. Wiki held an answer:

The pronunciation across the United Kingdom is varied. Some sections of the population (nearly two thirds of the British population and 99% of the Scottish population, according to one academic study[1]) pronounce it as /skn/ (to rhyme with con and John, the U English Pronunciation), and the rest pronounce it /skn/ (to rhyme with cone and Joan, the Non-U English pronunciation). According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word scone derives perhaps from the Middle Dutch schoonbrood (fine white bread), from schoon (pure, clean) and brood (bread). The word is attested in the Scots language long before it was in more general use in the English language.

Which leads me to believe that as two thirds of english and all scots pronounce it the way I do, couple with the fact that the scots were saying it first; I must be right!
