This short, snappy, pointless and patronising post is dedicated to the art of texing and aksing.

That’s right. 

“I tex you”

“Did you aks me?” (pronunciation guide:  aaarks).

Why oh why oh why can’t these words be said as they should be?!  I am a dysfluent, always-in-recovery stammerer so being 100% articulate will never be my thing, but…..really.

Please.

Is the nation really a slew of Jeremy Kyle-glugging buffoons?

Does any attempt at pronunciation just get left at the back door of JD Sports? (or indeed JD Wetherspoons).

“Asked”. Try it.

“Asked”.

There is a whole new ‘ker-duh” added that needs to be in there.

And “I sent you a text”. Or, “I texted you”, if you really must.

Next time I hear either of these two gems the perpetrator is going to have a Giles Brandreth/Stephen Fry marathon, Clockwork Orange styleeee.

Don’t agree? Tex me and tell me why. I aks you.
