[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and I find it really annoying when men do it too. There's[b] one commentator in NPR[/b]-I can't even listen to him. It's probably generational. I'm a crabby gen-xer. [/quote]

I'm a Gen-Xer too, and I figure that it's none of my business how people speak, as long as I can understand them. So no, it's not generational.[/quote]

Fair enough I'm just crabby then. [/quote]

As I was reading this I thought of that NPR guy! I don't typically notice affections unless they are literally annoying (sorry, couldn't resist) and typically vocal fry is not bad, but this guy's is super noticeable. It is also a way for women to lower their register and be taken [i]more[/i] seriously, especially if they are squeaky talkers. I am a gen-xer, and I was a total like valley-girl talker in my day. Is everyone just jumping on the bandwagon to hate this new thing (it's not new; it's not just young women)? Can you all hear different gradations of this? Because I sure can. It needs to be pretty extreme to get to the annoying camp for me.[/quote]
