I could've sworn the global pronunciation came from the British (bone).

EDIT: Sc(b)one isn't really "British". In Scotland, where the word originates, it's generally pronounced sc(g)one, even though the place the food is named after is pronounced scone (rhymes with "boon"), another reason I included that option. Since my mother is Scottish, I've grown up being told that sc(g)one is right and that sc(b)one is heretical.

Nobody said 'gone' wasn't written wrong.

Wiki wrote:The pronunciation of the word across the United Kingdom varies. According to one academic study, nearly two thirds of the British population and 99% of the Scottish population pronounce it as /skɒn/, to rhyme with "con" and "John." The rest pronounce it /skəʊn/, to rhyme with "cone" and "Joan." British dictionaries usually show the "con" form as the preferred pronunciation, while recognizing that the "cone" form also exists.[1]
