The Death of Imagination

Interesting; growing up in England I knew lingonberries and blueberries. Flieder or fledersap is how Ikea's elderflower cordial is sold. And definitely gooseberry, just as if you were saying the two words sequentially in a sentence. But scone is with a short o, to rhyme with Hebron, and absolutely never with a long o like telephone, which would be as weird as having it rhyme with spoon and anyway marks the speaker as a habitual criminal.
