I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I'm team 'skon' whereas my husband is team 'skone.'

Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

I'll bite.

It's a "skone". Clue is in the fact it's spelt "scone", ie just substitute the K for a C. It it was a skon it would be called a scon.

Which is precisely why 'shone' and 'shown' are said the same way, of course.
