I think the mispronunciations as you interpret them are less grating when you know their history. The article linked above is very informative and will hopefully help you to see that some of the mispronunciations that are upsetting you so much are just as historically accurate as your pronunciation.
Have you been hanging out w/ a bunch of kids or something?! Ha!
Sooooo...how many more days of camp do you have left? :P
Erin,
Read the article.
Still think "ax" is a lazy form of the word ask.
Thanks.
You need to drink more. After a few mojitos, you'll be too shloshed to ax them to shtop butchering our language. And you'll sound just like them, too.
LOL.. I am rolling due to the previous 2 comments... Hey can I ax you a question?........
