Do you think the same people who call a question an “ask” have any problems calling a published thing a “publish”?

I guess those people will call it "content".
Are there people who call a question an "ask"? There is a common nounal use of "ask", but that refers to a request or demand, not a question.
Yes, in international English it's already started to drift towards this use.
This is first time I hear about it. Where did you saw it ?
