Americans pronounce it 'biscuit' but what do they know? |

Well, a survey showed that, in Britain 51% pronounce it 'Scon', 42% 'Scoan'! |

That one has always puzzled me. I grew up in Middlesbrough where we pronounced it "scon", emigrated to Canada where it was pronounced "scoan".. Thought it was just the Canadians who didn't know how to pronounce it until I met people from other parts of England who insisted that it was pronounced "scoan".. Who is right? |

"scon" here in Teesside, but in Yorkshire my daughter-in-law calls it a "scoan". I just think that sounds posh, lol. |

This could cause a family rift. |
