Hmm, is that why New Yorkers say 'axe' instead of 'ask'? They're perfecting the language? :devil:
No, that's less than lovingly known as " ebonics " Besides, you have your Cockneys, right?
Not all New Yorkers say "axe" - this one doesn't. My dad - on the other hand - always went to the "terlit".
Anywat, I think your confusing accents with language and
grammar.
