@SW-User he was very nice to talk to. We were at the airport, waiting to catch a flight to Austin and sitting beside each other small talking and I had no idea he was even a celebrity until some strange things happened and that’s when I found out who he was

@BritishFailedAesthetic I don't talk like Mary Poppins, I'm from Manchester. I have a northern accent. Lol :)
@KarenisKenziesmum I'm saying you're stuck in thr past with accents 😅

@BritishFailedAesthetic What do you mean? A London accent today is the same as a London accent 50 years ago, isn't it? How can it be different? It wouldn't be a London accent if it was different, would it?

They are two unrelated words. This is a silly and pointless question.

@KarenisKenziesmum you wouldn’t hear it in movies because they would give the actors a speech therapist if they spoke like that.

@Jenny1234 So why would they speak like that in real life then? I don't get it.

@KarenisKenziesmum dialect and lack of education in certain areas

The chief business of the American people is business - Silent Cal Coolidge.
When shopping for a job, speak like a republican. When relaxing, speak however the hell you want.

The word 'ask' is a derivative of the word 'axe' which dates back to the 1500's where 'axe' was used in old Germanic English, who were the original creators of the English language. This of course means that the English language was the language of north Germany, not the language of Great Britain as we otherwise think it is today.
The pronunciation of the word 'ask' to be pronounced as 'axe' was given Royal approval in the 1500's after Germanic English had been adopted in Great Britain as north Germans plundered westward from Germany, eventually arriving in what's known as Britain today and beginning settlement of the area.
When people of England and other places in Europe fled Great Britain with U-Haul trailers in tow and showed up on the shores of North America during the 1700's, they brought with them certain elements of Germanic English, one of which was the official pronunciation of the word 'ask' which is still being pronounced in America as 'axe' to this very day.
As with the word 'colour' which is spelled with a 'u' in Britain, those New World Americans dropped the letter 'u' in protest of the King of England who they were fleeing at the time, thereby creating America's own version of Germanic English which includes words now spelled as 'color' instead of 'colour' and 'ask' instead of the British pronunciation of 'axe'.
The word 'axe' however, has become an African-American slang for the word 'ask' which originally started as a Black folks protest against White folks during the British/American Slave Trade.
