I absolutely hate using "axe" instead of "ask", and she did that.

Like many of the words we use today, ask comes from an Old English word. In this case, the word is acsian, and it can be traced back to the eighth century AD. And, sure enough, it was pronounced ax-ian.

As Old English evolved into Middle and then modern English, the word became asken and then ask. But the ax pronunciation stuck around—and it popped up in some pretty notable places. The celebrated Middle English writer Geoffrey Chaucer, who penned The Canterbury Tales and is often called “the father of English literature,” used the word this way; so did the Coverdale Bible, which was the first-ever English incarnation of the Bible. When this was published in 1535, Matthew 7-7 instructed the pious to “axe and it shall be given you.” The president of the American Dialect Society says that “ax” is “not a new thing; it is not a mistake. It is a feature of regular English.”

I've been corrected for pronouncing aunt like the insect. Or criticized for saying hej, because that's what horses eat. Eventually I just decided that it's a remaining acceptable piece of prejudice. I wouldn't use "axe," but it is a pretty widespread American dialect.

Boebert is a lying, treasonous ultra MAGA hypocrite, and a disgusting a moral piece of filthy shit.

You can only humiliate slightsly smarter people who voted for her, or I should say SHE is humiliating them.
