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”

Agreed. Which is why I believe my children will be leaders among their peers.

Already, my son is in a position to do hiring and firing and has managed teams of people. He applies a keen eye when interviewing and is unafraid to reject someone for poor communication skills.

He's only 23. But...an Eagle Scout. So, he has the tools.

Good for that person. Being a more seasoned citizen, a BIG pet-peeve of mine has been the use (for quite some time now) of IMPACT where AFFECT or EFFECT work perfectly well, but of course those don't have the same IMPACT...

It’s Frank and Moon’s fault! Definitely something he would have gotten a big laugh from.
