Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Actually..This really is my last post for this particular QOTW. But I would just like to mention the ignorance of anyone who says 'aks' and not 'ask'.
It's not like its an uncommon word that's never pronounced correctly.
No I'm not being racist, I've heard plenty of chavs say it too.

Weird.

But I agree, "aksed" is just stoopid tha'knows.
