- graderjs 4y agoWatch the video--you'll see that it's not that. Actual olde English, before "the Empire" aks was very common. It's much more complicated than you pretend, thanks! The video's good. Watch it. Educate yourself! :)
- yawpitch 4y agoSince the video establishes that King James - not exactly known for being either of the lower classes or of an anti-colonial bent — propagated the AKS-form into English, via his eponymous bible edition, and that ASK-form dominance is relatively recent, I’m not sure this particular hot take is even mildly warm.
