ya that ending on a high note gets real old, real fast. half the people at my last job did that. its like every statement is a question. where the hell did that come from?
That derives from the Valley Girl speak begining in the 1970s. If I recall there was a movie made with all the southern California San Fernando Valley girls speaking with that lilting high note on the end of each sentence. It was a popular movie for the kids. Girls, then many young boys picked it up and now it is endemic with the "younger crowd" adapting it. Drives me up the wall, too.
EDIT: I may be wrong as it was a long time ago, but didn't Frank Zappa write a song and recorded it about "Valley Girls?"
