I thought the "S" was silent.
No matter how I say it I always get corrected, and I still don't know what is correct.

Well, if everyone is THAT interested, why not call them and see how they answer the phone? (PS - I think it's pronounced "spoon") - but whatever.

I always thought it was spone, like bone with an s like previously stated. It's probably one of those that gets changed with accents.
