OKAY BLACK FOLKS: IS IT AX OR ASK???
Garrard McClendon, professor of Education at Calumet College of St. Joseph in Indiana, has written an interesting book called “Ax or Ask? The African-American Guide to Better English."
McClendon penned the book to, “teach African Americans how to speak mainstream American English in order to avoid employment and educational discrimination and exclusion due to dialect.”
