After years of using the word ask she has started to say axe. It irratates me (although I'm not sure why) that she has come in saying " I need to axe you something" so I subjected her to a rather lengthy account of the axe and its uses throughout history. What is wrong with young people being seemingly unable to say ASK?

She is fairly popular Smile

I cannot stand people who live their life through Facebook.

sugar DH can't say "thr"

It drives me nuts but he's a well-regarded professional. It hasn't held him back Grin and if he could say it, he would because he is aware of it. He just can't make the sound Sad

Cannot stand axe, reminds me of the Rikky Lake show all these years ago! I LOVE MamaTJ method to sort the problem out!Grin.
Another one I hear a lot in school is "Can I go toilet?" I really have to work on my inner peace not to scream "TO the toilet!"

MrsDeVere, I am in the North West and although I do have a very loud voice, not sure it will reach all the way to your DC!Grin
