The pronunciation of "ask" as "aks" or "arks" (with an English accent) is not incorrect, it's different.

Chaucer pronounced it that way in his day as the spelling was different.

[Zacs-Master]

…..Cuttle-ry?

[Zacs-Master]

Saying things wrong is just ridicleous

In the latsest "Back in time" to the corner shop, they had a midlands family on and I could not bear to listen to the woman when she pronounced anything with two 'T's'. The TV was really 'lickle', she had a real 'backle' with the bacon slicer, oh and she loved the new electric 'keckle'. I think the British manage to mangle the English language far more than the north americans.

rediculous
