I think that started in western Canada? I was on a ski vacation to Sunshine Village in Alberta back in the '90's and heard the residents talking like that?

Drove me fricking nuts? I mean, really?

OMG, I hate that. I simply refuse to spend any quality time talking to a person who has that habit.

Severe ridicule may be the only cure for these stupid vocal oddities.
