>And one more that I wish Judge Judy would start correcting on her program is Axed, as in I axed if he had any money. Come on now how hard is it to say the word ask correctly.

I actually think that "sk" in the middle of a word must be difficult for some to pronounce. Not only do we hear "ax" for "ask," but lots of people use "asterik" or "asteriks" instead of "asterisk."
