But what's so hard about saying "ask"?

And why even say "axe" anyway?

Not racist but HAVE noticed a difference in our cultures.

My mom is a high school English teacher. Last week, she showed me a paper in which a student was trying to say "occurred" but misspelled it as "a curd." :D

Sometimes, it's neither coincidence nor irony, but sarcasm.

Can a brother get some love for the split infinitive?

Bust 'em up; this ain't no Latin.

A lady today wrote me to say her daughetr was "siked" (i.e., psyched) up about the soccer game against my daughters today. I always figured she was a bit brighter than that. But my own sweet dear departed mother used to say "mirro" for mirror all the time. Anyway, gotta go to the aforementioned game.
I can't believe y'all wasted so much time on this loser of a rerun thread. :D :eek:
