SamZman Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 All of those examples are annoying. I also hate double negatives, but I don't think it bothers me enough to write a book about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ax or Ask? This is my biggest pet peve. Actually it was very common in England to pronounce it that way. It is thought that the British spread the pronounciation to the caribbean, where it was gradually brought into US culture. It's a pretty old (and common) variant.
