Not in my classroom, it didn’t. I got in trouble for not grading Ebonics as highly as Standard English, but “ask” and “ax” are two different words. One is a verb, one is a noun that I would like to bury in the skulls of people who use it as a verb.

Ax used in a sentence.

I axed him and he didn't answer.
So I axed him again.
