There's certain American dialects that add an R at the end of a word, too. "Pizzer" (instead of pizza), "Winder" (Instead of window). It's mostly those from the south that say it that way.
In the case of "extraordinary', most people pronounce it "extrordinary" but, actually, each pronunciation has a slightly different meaning. The above example means: odd, bizarre, amazing, etc.. But, to say it, "extraordinary" means: to go the extra steps, to be something special, wonderful or, again, amazing.

In the South I live in (Carolinas), I've never heard "pizzer", but I remember hearing "winder" like when I was a kid, but even then, it was rare, mostly by folks whose roots were in the mountains.

Regarding the "axe" / ask used by blacks, I've heard that all my life. Listen to "The Young Folks" by the Jackson 5 (from the "ABC" album, + b-side of the "ABC" 45) and even Michael sings the line, "We "axe" you why..." in the second verse.
