Are you Uptalking?
Do you use HRT? More and more people do these days. All over the world, in fact
- in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand - and it's on the increase over
here, too. Naturally, it's mainly young people that use HRT: teenagers, of
course, but more and more pre-teens are doing it as well. There are even some
adults who have either grown up using it or who are getting HRT off their kids.
Excuse me? HRT stands for high-rise terminals. What did you think I meant? It's the technical term for "uptalk" - the way kids speak so that every sentence ends with an interrogative tone so that it sounds like a question even when it's a statement? Like that, in fact.
Like, dude...whatever.
