This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

"I aksed him..."
I can't fucking stand it. People who say "aksed" or "axed" or whatever it is the fuck they are saying when they mean "asked".

These people are invariably chubby merkins who make two short planks look like a computer. But it gets my dander right up.

What is so fucking difficult about three letters? When did axe become a verb? How about I axe you? Axe you right in your colossal belly and watch the fat pour out like a split carrier bag full of custard?

I don't mind Americanism, just this one. Which is why it's irrational. For some reason it just makes my tits wobble.

Aksed is a perfectly valid variation that's been around for at least as long as asked.
But well done on demonstrating an unpleasant and violent bigotry.

Indeed.
Being overweight is hardly unique to the US.

Sounds like you may have a
skellington in your closet waiting to exscape.

Indeed. I am a veritable Patrick Bateman who's a Huey Lewis away from a sticky flat.

I like skellingtons, sumbarines, macky buzzers and all the fantastic dialects we have that make learning english a nightmare for teh forrins, it's just this one. I hate it.

Is an asterisk, not an asterix. I believe Asterix is actually a French comic-book character; correct me if I'm wrong (I probably am).

Kind of right. I think your statement is correct. I am just not sure what it's doing here :P

Hmm
I remember reading when I did A Level English that there are pamphlets criticising this pronounciation which date back to the 16th century. So I guess we're stuck with it!
