Being incomprehensible is pointless.While I do not wish to deprive our Jamaican (or whichever patois this is) brethren of their accent I think it is just bloody stupid to speak with that accent if you're not brought up that way.
Personally, I could go around speaking using the accent of the county of my birth -- but, oddly, when I do "foreign" people don't understand me.
As far as I can tell most people who say "aks" do so to be devisive, or to try to identify with a culture they were not raised in.
As far as I am concerned, anyone who chooses to speak in a patois is racist and antisocial*.
*OK, this is a bit of an over-reaction.
