I am not, but Merriam Webster has taken notice of the fact that "get" and
'ask' are being used as nouns.

Dear all,
Reading the news, the following linguistic innovation offered itself:
May’s official spokeswoman said: “This is obviously a unique European

Is anyone here familiar with the noun "ask" and its present usage (as per
corpus based approaches, over and against the Chomskeians)?
Mvh. / Yours sincerely,
