If I have permission to be pedantic too then, not really, because how would that ever work written down without it being phonetically spelled out? It works as a sentence because the implication of the rhyme doesn't need to be said? Sorry for being boring lmao, English grad and I couldn't help myselfIt’s a little bit pedantic, but it’s very classic gobs. Pronounced would suggest, technically, that you say ‘bone’ instead of scone.
