It's a growing disease. More and people are doing it, even close family and friends. The endemic of which I speak is ending a sentence in a higher tone than you began speaking in, particularly the final word. It makes every sentence sound like a question. For me the only question is "why the hell are they talking like an absolute cretin?".
I think it started with Neighbours then spread to UK youth programmes such as Hollyoaks and is widespread across the US too.
For me it can ruin the most pleasant of anecdotes and send the most average story to the depths of hideous dispair.
I struggle with it hugely because it's usually loud people who do it and I can't stand unnecessary volume. I see it as an intrusion into my personal being. Why should my ears be filled with your inadequate stories at hideous volumes served with the bitter pill of a statement being delivered as a question?
It's unnecessary so please, please stop.
Thanks
