Every one knows that the Internet has given birth to a new
vocabulary.But I never knew that you could ask a question by asking
(what else): What's the ask? But the website tells clearly
that 'ask' is synonymous with 'question.'So you are very right in
asking: What's the ask? We are further told the word 'ask' will be
included in the next edition of the Internet dictionary.If you like
words (new and old) and the word games too, it is an excellent site.
