1. EXACTLY!!!

I've been screaming about this for years. I have also heard "physical" when someone is trying to say "fiscal" and "pitcher" when they really want to say "picture". It drives me crazy! :banghead: Ever heard of Hooked on Phonics, people? Those words are NOT hard to pronounce!!!!

Thank you for posting this. :) I feel better now.

2. Listen, there's something I need to ax you:

Ever see a shooting star go streaking acrost the sky? B-)

3. If you ax me, I'll be angry!

If you ask me, I'll be nice! :)

4. I hate it too but it has reached the point now where it is probably an

accepted pronunciation so...get over it:)

And actually, according to Dictionary.com, it is:

5. Next you'll be telling me that

words like "Krazy" and "Kutz" are acceptable spellings. Lynne Truss is exactly right---the English language is getting very, very lazy. :P

6. Why not? What "is" the English language is determined by those

that speak English.

Love the comic by the way:)
