Okay, I just. I know I've ranted about this before, but it keeps happening, so, you know, feel free to pass it on. Apparently there is a misapprehension widely held.
a·skance /əˈskans/
Adverb: With an attitude or look of suspicion or disapproval: "the reformers looked askance at the mystical tradition"
It has no more to do with 'ask' than 'askew' does. Please, tell your friends. Please.
On a completely different topic, you know what would be amaaaaazing? A BBC Sherlock/Invader Zim mash-up. Think about it.
