Dude! Do I really have to be the one who tells you that your bacon SUCKS!!!! I don't know how you guys managed to do it, but Canadian bacon is terrible. Its a crime against all things swine! You have taken the magical, healing powers of pig and engineered wall board out of it.

you don't have to agree with that one, but the rest of 100% absolute truth

Americans really don't like the letter U - check this out, which includes an appearance by none other than Pansyass at 1.45 -

I forgot they take the E off the end of axe... weird. You're welcome about the whole "preservation of the proper spelling" thing. Too bad we lost the pronunciation.

now see, it was explained to me that "ax" referred to a short handled instrument used for chopping and that "axe" referred to the long handled one.

Our Living Language : Ax, a common nonstandard variant of ask, is often identified as an especially salient feature of African American Vernacular English. While it is true that the form is frequent in the speech of African Americans, it used to be common in the speech of white Americans as well, especially in the South and in the middle sections of the U.S. It was once common among New Englanders, but has largely died out there as a local feature. The widespread use of this pronunciation should not be surprising since ax is a very old word in English, having been used in England for over 1,000 years. In Old English we find both āscian and ācsian, and in Middle English both asken and axen. Moreover, the forms with cs or x had no stigma associated with them. Chaucer used asken and axen interchangeably, as in the lines "I wol aske, if it hir will be/To be my wyf" and "Men axed hym, what sholde bifalle," both from The Canterbury Tales. The forms in x arose from the forms in sk by a linguistic process called metathesis, in which two sounds are reversed. The x thus represents (ks), the flipped version of (sk). Metathesis is a common linguistic process around the world and does not arise from a defect in speaking. Nevertheless, ax has become stigmatized as substandard—a fate that has befallen other words, like ain't, that were once perfectly acceptable in literate circles.
