UH...I still say axe every once in a while...
...Sorry. (I guess very stuck in the '80's, when I had a little more hair)
You and me both!
Don’t change brother, who we are makes us!

A pair of axes, a pair of git-fiddles, a pair of gee-tars. I think they all work out fine in a sentence!
Yes. In a custodial sentence.
I recall some brits pronouncing guitar as 'catarrh'. They should be banged up too.

As far as speech is concerned, my biggest pet peeve is when people say "southren", "northren", "eastren" or 'westren"

How are you with “crick” vs. “creek”. Apparently, my Iowa accent says crick.

my ex got peeved when I would use "either" when it wasn't an either/or type situation. After a while, I did it just to peeve her. I guess that's why she's my ex. (but its not either)

For a while I couldn't handle college roommates who spoke with a decidedly Bahstan accent. Then one of my friends and my niece attended college in the region. They got used to it relatively quickly, but I still cringe a little, almost the same when I hear a Long Island accent, because it reminds me of college early on.

My wife lived there for a few years. She would say it’s pronounced “misery.”

“Begs the question” when the speaker means “prompts the question.”
Eck-setera instead of et cetera.
Doesn’t really bother me, I just notice it. And I get why people make those mistakes.
I’ll confess, I like it when I hear a tape of Pig Pen (Grateful Dead singer, for anyone who might not know) saying “axe” for “ask” in one of his raps. It was just the way he did it. He wasn’t condescending to anyone. He was before my time, but I can see how he could own a room. Anyway, I probably wouldn’t mind it if I heard a rap where he said elk-setera. But I don’t think I’d be cool with him using begs the question to refer to anything other than supporting a claim with a premise that itself presupposes the claim.
