Ask, Ax? What would you say?

so i'm training a very young girl- she's in sales- lots of phone calls, people contact, etc.
I've noticed she says "ax" instead of ask...
Should I mention this to her? This is not only a pet peeve ofmine, but of the company president. How should I bring this up, if at all?

I would just tell her that the pres is very picky about diction and likes when you annunciate words correctly. I think alot of people have pet peeves about this one/

I always talk to my students about Formal English and the importance of using Standard English. I think you should say something to her because now that you are working with her, her actions are a reflection of you.
good luck

My boss said someone told her not to say ax when she stated her first job & she was embarased but greatful. She didn't even realize she was doing it.

Definitely tell her.

Re: Ask, Ax? What would you say?

I agree with the others that stated you should let her know. I think it was neenie that stated you should do it in a roundabout, headsup this is the president's pet peeve kinda way. Hell, I would love a heads up if I was doing something that was gonna tick off my head honcho.

It's "ask" and "sorry, my fault"...

"ax" is something you use to chop woodChat Icon

"my bad", well Chat Icon I actually had a colleague in the English dept. use "my bad" in a faculty memoChat Icon

As a teacher, both drive me crazy. What is it about being WANTING to sound ignorant these days?
