dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

AAVE was always valid English regardless of whether it can trace any specific pronunciation to the anglo saxons.

Even if "aks" had been a totally new construction you couldn't find in Chaucer, it would sinply be a case of metathesis. And if you're going to complain about a dialect doing metathesis then I better not hear you say wasp instead of væps
