Talk:Ax

Okay, I understand redirecting common mistakes... but 'ax'? --Odal talk 12:49, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I see what you are getting at based on past posts, but you are incorrect in this case. Ax was the preferred Oxford spelling in the late 19th century. The Brits switched to axe. The Americans stayed traditional. Venom20 12:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh ok, fair enough then. I assumed it was a misspelling, and it seemed an uncommon one having never seen it called an 'ax' myself. --Odal talk 12:55, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Seriously? it is one of those spelling arguments like color is to colour Venom20 12:57, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Well I've never seen it like this before so... (Colour came first. ;o ) --Odal talk 12:59, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
