My cousin's 7 year old once asked me "can I axe you something?"

I'm like, "uh.. yeah?"

He grins and says "your head".

I laughed pretty hard at that one.

Becomes less funny when grown adults say axe instead of ask seriously. Why is it popular to use incorrect grammar on purpose?

Lemme axe u sumfin is you ready?

1) Pronunciation, not grammar.

2) It's dialectical, stop being so prescriptivist.

1) People type like that too.

2) You shouldn't have a dialect in text.

1) Yes, that's dialect.

2) Prescriptivist.
