If you could go back into time thirty or forty or fifty years ago, and pluck a group of citizens out of the past, and immediately bring them to 2016, and sit them in front of a television set, I can guarantee one of the first reactions everyone would have is “why the hell is everyone talking and acting like a homo?”
It’s been a gradual change in speaking, comportment, mannerisms and such, over the past years, and most people today aren’t even cognizant of it.
Good point, but I don't know which is more irritating -- this uptalk or the gay "lithp" -- grown men (?) deliberately speaking as if they had a speech impediment or their tongue were permanently fused to the roof of their mouth. Drives me crazy.
