Why do so many people say "axe" instead of "ask". I can't watch court shows or talk shows without hearing it. Does this bother anybody else?

I think people say "axe " instead of ask b/c of the fact that some have accents and others don't . Also some people are just not that intellegent and talk that way b/c they think its cool or something ... yes it bothers me !

Some people do it because they grew up hearing it pronounced that way. I have actually known people who can't say sk when spelled together as in ask. Yes. It bothers me, but I must be tolerant of others. It may be something they can't help.

I prefer "Can I a s s you a question?" from Ace Ventura. Ha ha. Funny stuff.
But seriously, yeah. Axe is horrible. So wrong.

I hate that myself - it indicates extremely low intelligence!
