[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this - is it a speech technique instilled at college? Colleagues and NPR and cable news, it's everywhere. It's so annoying.[/quote] I think I know what you're talking about, and it's really annoying. But it's more how they say it. I have a friend who is very unpretentious who says "right" after every sentence (as in "So I'm going to the store, right?") and it's charming and cute. Anyone talking in NPR speak seems to affect a tone of voice that is distinctly condescending, as if they're lecturing a small child. It's not just the words, it's the tone. [/quote]
