Because this "right way" you speak of isn't the only way:
| quote: | | O.E. ascian "ask," from earlier ahsian, from P.Gmc. *aiskojan (cf. O.S. escon, O.Fris. askia, M.Du. eiscen, O.H.G. eiscon, Ger. heischen "to ask, demand"), from PIE *ais- "to wish, desire" (cf. Skt. icchati "seeks, desires," Arm. aic "investigation," O.C.S. iskati "to seek," Lith. ieskau "to seek"). Form in Eng. infl. by a Scand. form of the word (cf. Dan. ęske; the O.E. would have evolved by normal sound changes into ash, esh, which was a Midlands and s.w. England dialect form). The variant in modern dialect ax is as old as O.E. acsian and was an accepted literary variant until c.1600. O.E. also had fregnan, frignan which carried more directly the sense of "question, inquire," and is from PIE root *prek-, the common source of words for "ask" in most I.E. languages. If you ask me "in my opinion" is attested from 1910. |

yes they are. they're imperative |
Imperatives are not sentences, as sentences must have subjects and predicates. |

"real talk" <- so does that mean everything else you say is a lie?
"oh me" <- said by old southern women after they're done laughing, something i discovered late last year and have hated ever since. |

'shut up' - when used to express surprise
'hook up' - WTF does this mean? It can be used for meet someone/kiss someone/screw somebody/various other levels of sexual contact or help someone out with a connection. It is the most useless, ambiguous phrase in the history of mankind.:whip: :whip: |
