[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and I find it really annoying when men do it too. There's one commentator in NPR-I can't even listen to him. It's probably generational. I'm a crabby gen-xer. [/quote] +1 Men, women... anyone who speaks with that exaggerated uptick or vocal fry will immediately come across as ignorant. No matter what. It's a terrible way of speaking. Those of you defending it clearly have no clue how repugnant it sounds. [/quote] Well, I agree that I have no clue how repugnant it sounds TO YOU. However, it doesn't sound repugnant to me. Also, people who uptalk or creak don't come across as ignorant to me. They come across as people who uptalk or creak. Also, if we all spoke Standard American English all the time, in every circumstance, language would be really boring.[/quote] Exactly. [/quote]
