Why does Floyd always say "aks" instead of "ask"?

[MurderDeathKill]

At least complain about Floyd ducking or something. This thread is literally reaching for **** to ***** about.

Curiously enough, it's an older pronunciation of the word "ask" which comes from the word "acsian". The current pronunciation of the word as "ask" is actually the corruption of the word as it was originally pronounced. Many people from the West Indies and Southern States of America still pronounce it the old way.

Never knew that.

Cool, brah.

lol I always wondered why some pronounced it aks. Even some of my teachers pronounced it that way.

Linguistics is a fascinating topic. You'd be astounded at the number of words which were pronounced totally differently in the old days: ask - aks, bird - brid, night - nikt. Common Queen's English (which many people automatically asume is the "correct" way of pronouncing words) is actually a relatively modern invention. You're more likely to find original English accents in the former colonies, as well as some isolated villages in the north of England.
