I absolutely loathe the unnecessary uptick that now seems to have become popular when people speak. Especially when one is listing things or just ending a statement. What is the deal with this idiotic habit people have fallen into? And how can those fools be saved?

Maybe they have hearing damage and can’t hear how loud they are.

You mean talking like this? Where everything has a question mark at the end of it? With an upward inflection? At the end of every sentence?


Or are you talking about speaking volume?

I have a coworker who only speaks with vocal fry. It's almost unbearable.

One more example of a complete lack of self-awareness in today’s world.
