Arks or ask?
No, not Noah’s vessel that housed
millions of coupled animals. This is a language disaster. Try though I may I
just can’t get past it. When someone says to me, ‘arks your friend if I can
borrow her pen’, it’s something I will never, ever be ready for. Arks, unless
of course it’s God sending a message about it raining for 40 days and 40 nights
to drown us right out.
Ark ɑːk/ noun 1. (in the Bible) the
ship built by Noah to save his family and two of every kind of animal from the flood,
Noah's ark. o archaic a ship or boat. plural noun: arks
People! Get it right. It’s ASK.
Arse-K. Always has been (well since the 1600’s), always will be. ‘Ask me a
question’, or ‘ask me what my favourite colour is’ ... don’t arks me ... it’s
frigging lazy. It's frigging wrong and it's a boat, built cubit by cubit. My
thoughts are, if it’s cultural, that’s okay. If it’s a speech impediment,
that's okay, if not ... don’t use it. It’s discrediting. Most of you are not
gangsters or rappers. Back in Chaucer’s day he used ‘I ax’, Chaucer wrote
between 1374 to 1386. Even Shakespeare used ‘ask’. Stop it ... it’s ARRRSSSKKKK
... ask. It’s just ask.
Who done it?
