@chr
look so apparently "ax" is the original pronunciation of "ask" in old/middle english so nothing matters and language is arbitrary
@Stephen_Stone @chr That sounds wrong! I see ME "asken" from OE "āscian" from Proto-Germanic "*aiskōną".
@chr Gawddamn I wish I still lived in Nawlins* so I could start saying "ax" like a proper Yat⁑ and drop that fact on people when they gave me shit for it.
* New Orleans, my hometown.
⁑ Nawlins white trash, name derived from the typical greeting "Where y'at dawlin'?"
⁂ oh god mastodon's toot length lets me put footnotes on toots I love you @Gargron

@anthracite @chr @gargron footnotes are the best. 😎
@chr It's not so weird that that would get switched because /aks/ doesn't follow the sonority sequencing principle whereas /ask/ does; the more sonorous sounds are closer to the vowel
@chr “Futurama” was right? 😮
