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

Brought up in the home counties and it's always been scone (bone) to me.

I'm my unqualified opinion, two for sure. How do you even say it otherwise? Caff?

[-] valkyrie@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I would say it with two but I know plenty who say it caff!

I feel bad for that é, it barely gets to do anything in English and then when it gets a chance people ignore it anyway smh 😔

Well now I've been sent down a rabbit hole on borrowed words in English and am very upset that décor has been made so boring.
