It's good to see Canadians spelling words correctly and not using those god-awful American spellings. Like 'ax'. Shows you what happens when a load of illiterate Eurotrash come in and bastardise the pristine English tongue.

I forgot they take the E off the end of axe... weird. You're welcome about the whole "preservation of the proper spelling" thing. Too bad we lost the pronunciation.chanilover wrote:It's good to see Canadians spelling words correctly and not using those god-awful American spellings. Like 'ax'.

now see, it was explained to me that "ax" referred to a short handled instrument used for chopping and that "axe" referred to the long handled one.A Thing of Eternity wrote:I forgot they take the E off the end of axe... weird.

Just don't axe me about that again. See, we do use the "e" sometimes.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/axOur Living Language : Ax, a common nonstandard variant of ask, is often identified as an especially salient feature of African American Vernacular English. While it is true that the form is frequent in the speech of African Americans, it used to be common in the speech of white Americans as well, especially in the South and in the middle sections of the U.S. It was once common among New Englanders, but has largely died out there as a local feature. The widespread use of this pronunciation should not be surprising since ax is a very old word in English, having been used in England for over 1,000 years. In Old English we find both āscian and ācsian, and in Middle English both asken and axen. Moreover, the forms with cs or x had no stigma associated with them. Chaucer used asken and axen interchangeably, as in the lines "I wol aske, if it hir will be/To be my wyf" and "Men axed hym, what sholde bifalle," both from The Canterbury Tales. The forms in x arose from the forms in sk by a linguistic process called metathesis, in which two sounds are reversed. The x thus represents (ks), the flipped version of (sk). Metathesis is a common linguistic process around the world and does not arise from a defect in speaking. Nevertheless, ax has become stigmatized as substandard—a fate that has befallen other words, like ain't, that were once perfectly acceptable in literate circles.

FAMILY DAY!
the topic got hijacked by you crazy Americans with your watered down beers.
As for the OP. Mr. McGuinty is sort of my boss, I work for employment ontario. And I support him and his family day for one reason alone. I have a 2year old son who I hardly get to see because of my job and he spends most of his early years with a baby sitter. I appreciated a day with him. But it does hurt the econ and it was a political move, clearly.
