Do you ask, or axe?

[Blondie]

Another one of those "what do you call it" threads.

I'm not Lizzie Borden, I ask, not axe.

 

[BethR]

Ask.

(Please don't let anyone say that they INTENTIONALLY say axe. )

 

[Buckalew]

Ask.
Don't people know those a 2 different words??!!

 

[SuiteDisney]

I ask.
I escape, not excape.

 

[Kermit]

I ask, but my New Orleans relatives axe.

 

[Lars624]

I ask , I escape and I never go to the libary I only visit the library !

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Lol, I've never heard anyone use 'axe' in that way. If someone axes me something, I'll make sure that they don't want to chop me up!

 

[helenabear]

I ask

 

[d.kurz]

I always ask, but some people I know actually ast. Yes that's
a-s-t.

 

[Robinrs]

I swear, Blondie, the hair on the back of my neck stood up when I saw this!!

I have a degree in English and speech so mispronunciations AND bad spelling drive me NUTS!!

I had an co worker who CONSTANTLY said 'axe' instead of ask... grrrrrrrr..... until I told her "if you say that one more time I will AXE you!!!"

The "S" goes beFORE the "K"!!!

I HATE it when people "axe" questions - and yes I have heard a few people say that around here. "Excape" really bothers me too, as does "libary"! Another one that really bugs me when people put a "t" on the end of "across" - as in, "He lives acrosst the street from me."

 

[Lars624]

I heard a kid, the other day, say that he was going to go axe his Mom if he could go somewhere & I just wanted to say "If you axe your Mom the only place you'll go is prison "

 

[CindyKansas]

I ask. Do you Wash the dishes or warsh the dishes? I wash, but here in southern Kansas alot of people warsh.

 

[Lars624]

My mother warshes them, but I wash them.

 

[Kermit]

The libary one always makes me smile. My mom was the school librarian when I was growing up. Every time we went to the store, some kid would yell, "Hey Mom! That's my libary teacher!"

 

[dizneenut]

I ask!

 

[browneyes]

ask

 

[A kid at heart]

I ask! How about when people say Birfday? where do they see an F inBirthday?

 

[Diane]

Definitely “ask.” My grandmother used to say “warsh.” (But she also used to call yellow beans “butter beans” and potatoes “ba-dae-duz.”) It also bothers me when people say, “Where’s he at?” or “I seen something.”

 

[Jillpie]

This thread is cracking me up. Especially with the birfday one. Oh, that one had me laughing right out loud!!!
