Okay, I'm a black woman so this is not some racist ASKing the question. Did this start off as a regional thing with people from the south and then when many blacks moved to the north and all over the US they carried this pronunciation with them. I am just really curious because this pronunciation is pretty pervasive. I've noticed in other forums that blacks get pissed off when whites or others ASK them about this and look at the question coming from them as some kind of put down or ridicule. Truthfully for many of those ASKing the question it is a put down & racially motivated because they look for any reason to perpetuate the hate. For me, I would just like to know. My parents were adamant about how we pronounced words and would never have accepted or allowed us to say "AXE" when we meant "ASK." So, is it a matter of ignorance and under-education/under-exposure or is it a matter of people not caring? What is it and why is that pronunciation so difficult and such a sensitive issu

OK, well, here are a few questions I came up with and I would love it if I could get some REAL answers, and not bogos ones, thank you.

1) How does being an Eagle Scout compare to someone who is not Eagle in terms of getting into an academy?

2) How does being a black belt compare to someone who is not Eagle in terms of getting into an academy?

3) In a prep-school for one of the various academies, do you go for one year? Also, is that one year right after your senior year at Hish School?

4) Is there a set amount on how many nominations you can get?

5) How much do sports effect your chances on getting an application?

6) Would being in JROTC during your High School years have an effect on getting in?

7) I have a -3.50 myopia in both eyes and 20/20 vision with contacts, must I apply for a medical waiver?

8) Would being in top physical shape in all aspects: swimming, running, overall strength; would that have an effect on my chances on getting in?

More on the way.

This is his first ever test (using a One-Touch UltraSmart Test Kit)...He's been feeling sick and it seemed to be diabetes. The numbers came up 226. He is extremely resistant to the idea of an ER (he is an adult). What can be done to monitor him and improve his levels here at home until he can see his doctor in a few days?

My little sister just turned 14 and she still has not started menstrating yet. She was talking to me about it and I don't know if it's weird or not. I started when I was 12, and that's pretty normal. Are there any indications that would help her know when she is about to start? (That was 10 years ago for me and I just can't remember!)

DON'T MESS WITH MOM
My son came home from school one day, with a smirk upon his face. He decided he was smart enough to put me in my place.
"Guess what I learned in Civics Two, that's taught by Mr.. Wright? It's all about the laws today, The 'Children's Bill of Rights. It says I need not clean my room, don't have to cut my hair. No one can tell me what to think, or speak, or what to wear. I have freedom from religion,
and regardless what you say, I don't have to bow my head, and I sure don't have to pray. I can wear earrings if I want, and pierce my tongue & nose. I can read & watch just what I like, get tattoos from head to toe. And if you ever spank me, I'll charge you with a crime. I'll back up all my charges, with the marks on my behind. Don't you ever touch me, my body's only for my use, not for your hugs and kisses, that's just more child abuse. Don't preach about your morals, like your Mama did to you. That's nothing more than mind control, And it's illegal too!
