I cannot stand that affectation in girls (real women do not talk that way) and if I was conversing with a man who did it I'd be sorely tempted to give him a bitch slap.
Anyone over 35 does not speak that way, regardless of gender.
Yup I think it started with Valley Girls.
Years ago I spoke with the HR director of a large F500 firm and she told me that in an interview if she heard what she referred to as ‘upward intonations” she would move that persons name into the “NO” column.
“Its like so totally unprofessional”
