"Uptalk is an American English dialect wherein ostensibly declarative statements are uttered on a rising note of query or apology."

It's annoying enough when women do it.

Sean Hanity. It’s why I can’t listen to him.

REALLY?

Sorry, what I’ve been hearing and it has been noted in articles, is the lowered pitch at the end of the sentence in young women’s speech patterns.

I think it’s also a southern country speech inflection.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

I’ve noticed that too and it drives my nuts!
Dear Lord we are losing masculinity in this country!
We are so Doomed!

I heard a 2 or 3 star General do it and I wanted to cry.

Gag me with a spoon. LOL!

Men are talking like girls, and girls are putting each other in the hospital.

“But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction”

I’ve lived all my 76 year life in So. California and don’t have any idea what you are talking about!

[pallis]

Obama does it.

[SkyDancer]

Rising in pitch at the end of sentences make you sound ‘insecure’

[Viennacon]

Pathetic

It’s not a dialect. It’s simply a speech pattern with some limited regional associations.

Drives me nuts, too. My father would say, “Let your voice drop: you’re done!”

[RichInOC]

I might do it for effect. If I ever start doing it all the time...somebody shoot me.

I feel sorry for decent girls out there who are looking for real men among the eunuchs.
