Saw this on facebook, had no clue that Ax was a correct pronunciation

I'm from a place where the English that is spoken is broken. People that use "Ax" instead of "ask" have a speech impediment or they're just too lazy to say "ask" correctly... and gives no damns whether they say it correctly or not.

It doesn't matter.
It's "ask" now.

I don't care if it was acsian or axe 1500 years ago. And Chaucer isn't some english authority. Chaucer is dead.
