How do you pronounce "Ask"?

I personally pronounce it Ahh-sk.

However the reason i ask is because i'm constantly hearing people say "axe", it's confusing.

So which do you use? and which is correct?

I pronounce it the way it is spelled. I am annoyed when when people pronounce it as "axe".

Oh dear....OT is doomed (pronounced OT as O-T and Doomed and Do-oo-m-d)

People, there are exactly two (2) topics out of the first one-hundred (100) that are "pronounce this" threads. That does not a fad constitute.Theokhoth

Not like mockery, Yoda does.

Ass. The "K" is silent.Theokhoth

The K is never silent!

I just looked up "ask" using WordWeb, and it says the pronunciation is "ask." :lol:

Guess that answers that.

i say it the way its spelled:|

I pronounce it the way that it is spelt. I gets to be pretty annoying when people say axe.

I tend to say "axe"... except not exactly like axe... start pronouncing the word "ass", but then instead of saying the two s's, add the "xe". That's how we pronounce it in New Orleans. Sorry if you don't like it, but people all around the world have different accents from yourself. The sooner people realize that and get over it, the better.

A new fad has begun, it seems.UltraZero

Just like "Rate This _____" threads? They better not banned this one.

What an interesting thread we got here.

No problem, i understand there are different languages. However, dont you think someone who's never talked to your grandma would get confused if she said "Op da Do" ?

If someone said "Op Da Do" i'd think they were mocking me. Like "Whoop De Doo"

[QUOTE="BMD004"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] But "Axe" has a totally different meaning. And i dont want people to "Axe" me anything.Nibroc420

[QUOTE="BMD004"]And I have a girl friend who lives here and she is from England. She pronounces "ball", "bowl", and "bull" almost exactly the same. They SHOULD all sound completely different. People have different accents. And "axe" does have a different meaning... but we don't spell it as "axe". It's just how we say it. And you don't get it confused because of the context. It's like the words to, two, and too. They sound the same, yet they are different words. My grandma has a thick cajun accent, and she says "do'" instead of "door". Sounds just like "dough". Yet I don't go to the freezer and open a pack of dough. When she says "Op da do'", I know she means to open the door. Sorry that people talk differently from you.BMD004

Languages are ment for communication. If one party doesn't understand how to speak a language, very little communication can occur. By re-enforcing that saying "Axe" is ok instead of "Ask" You're butchering the english language and creating confusion where there doesn't have to be any.

Now I've become self concious. I say it the correct way "assk", but when I say "asked" I tend to say it fast and it comes out as "ast". "No, I ast him, and he said..."

'AXE' or 'AXED' is the new moronic, so called "GANGSTA" way of saying 'ask' and 'asked'. As a proud Southern Englishman I speak her Majesties English and pronounce ask and asked as'Arsk' and 'Arsked'. I don't think anyone can truly say which is correct but, people who say 'axe' and 'axed' are deliberately butchering the English language in order to sound cool and deserve to be shot.

Ok enough with the "How do you pronounce *insert word here* topics". Its getting oldhockeyjunkie28
