I'm going to aks you a question...

**Valigarmander** · 08-11-2009, 04:41 PM

Does it piss you off when people say "aks" instead of "ask"?

Vgfian · 08-11-2009, 04:44 PM

Not really, I've been around it my whole life.

One time in 3rd grade the teacher's assistant asked us to spell "aks," on a spelling test so I spelled it "ax"...I'm pretty sure I failed that test...

You know what really grinds my gears?

Ask Murderers.

**Galefore** · 08-11-2009, 05:03 PM

I had a friend who said that all the time when I was a kid. I got used to it.

Speed · 08-11-2009, 06:36 PM

I've never heard of this.

Seeing as I know what you mean...

Glux · 08-11-2009, 09:40 PM

No, because (1.) I never pay that close attention when someone's talking, and (2.) most of the time I don't notice when they spell it wrong. I had to read the title twice before noticing.

Vgfian · 08-11-2009, 09:44 PM

I thought he was talking about people saying it in person...

I covered both sides.

Vgfian · 08-11-2009, 10:35 PM

Ah, okay.
I've been up for a while, so I must've mis read it.
Sorry.

Glux · 08-11-2009, 10:38 PM

Meh, I've misread many things.
Like the title.

**Loot** · 08-11-2009, 10:46 PM

I just imagine the person is about to slam a battle axe into my head.

And that's awesome.

What really bothers me is people saying "anyways" instead of "anyway,"' mostly due to the fact that I said the former until it was pointed out to me and started the long, arduous process of reprogramming my mouth to say the latter instead.

***CaptHayfever*** · 08-12-2009, 12:14 AM

I've never seen it spelled "aks"; when that pronunciation is being implied, everyone I've ever seen uses "axe".

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

No, I find it silly to get angry because someone has a different dialect, or object to a pronounciation because it's non-standard. I tend to take a descriptivist view on these things.

This is another one.

I'm an English major, though, so I kind of tend to be a little obnoxious when it comes to stuff like this.
