Is this the source of your irritation?

The one that really irks me is when the word request is replaced by ask in a corporate setting, such as: "The conversation concerns a customer with an ask about the product."
I see this constantly in my industry and it drives me ape-$#@!.
It was the big Ask. And she said yes!
That's about as bad as someone asking a querstion about something.
Why you should stop telling people you're so busy - http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...you-re-so-busy
I was refusing to use "impact" long before this "ask" thing showed up.
I actually tell members of my team that "impact" is a handy way for people to remain voluntarily ignorant of when to use "affect" vs "effect", and when you use it around me, you are proclaiming this willful ignorance.
I haven't figured put how to insult them into not using "ask" as a noun yet.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
Only beta females make asks. I make demands. Like a boss
