      :england-cool: used aks/ax/axe for a millennium before colonising the US. They were in use in :amerikkka: up until the 19th century when white people started saying and spelling “ask” instead. Then proceeded to berate people for “saying it wrong”. “Ask” is relatively new.

      Butterfly used to be flutterby.
