I can generally ignore most things, but moronials finishing each sentence as if it is a question makes my teeth itch, like oh my god

Even 25 years ago, I heard very little kids using that nutsy ‘upspeak’. They hear it in the media and just adopt it, thinking it’s cool.

It’s kind of scary how impressionable kids are. They learn bad habits and never get rid of them.

We used to have teachers correct us when we made mistakes like this. I had a public speaking teacher in high school who was at pains to teach me to say ‘get’ instead of ‘git’. I still slip up.

(Unfortunately, teachers today often speak like ignorant teens themselves.)
