Aks is not “an extremely bad American version” of ask, it has been around for over 1000 years, was used by Chaucer and early English translations of the Bible - and has been wonderfully preserved in certain dialects. However, where you might be right is about its use in Africa today, of that I am not sure, it seems to be most common in the US, UK and Australia. Don’t really know it from Ireland

My father was a university English professor and would never have let me get away with using that word no matter the argument in its defense.

Personally, it doesn’t roll off the tongue smoothly.
