This is not a deliberate thing. It’s just a bad case of mispronunciation. I am African American and hear these words used quite often. A lot of the time in my community, people are not concerned with pronunciation, and if you understand what message is being relayed, or what question is being asked, we generally don’t correct grammar. In your question, you asked ‘Why do ‘people’ say axed instead of asked?’ I wonder what PEOPLE you were referring to. Don’t worry, this is Y? Forum, where you can be as open as you want. I hate to say this, but stereotypically, you hear these mispronunciations from many inner-city folk. It’s not necessarily that they haven’t learned proper grammar; it may just be second-nature from using them so much.
