It’s not possible to derive a rule of grammar from logical principles.

But maybe we should await an Executive Order on the matter from President Trump. Unfortunately, the BBC will no longer be allowed to broadcast his daily sermon.

A scone by any other name tastes the same. :-D

I have heard it pronounced scone, scoan and scoon but whichever pronunciation is used, I know what is meant and I think that is the best way to think of it (warmed with lashings of butter if it's cheese). I'll let you Devon and Cornish folk debate the jam and cream version. :-D :-D :-D
