Lets turn statements into questions?

[AmericanScott]

I've noticed over the past few months that people are ending everything with a question mark?

I don't understand?

[Fox You Forest]

Loose. Loose. Loose. Loose.

Lose.

Isn't that how your standard american girl speak? With an upward inflection? As if theyre always asking a question?

People from Norwich talk like that ?

[Bellend Sebastian]

I hate it. It makes people seem like they think you don't know what they're talking about, or even that they don't know what they're talking about.

"I'm going into town?"

Yes, I think we know what 'town' is. And I think you do too, you massive, massive arse.

It mainly, but not exclusively, affects young people, as does putting 'at all' on the end of questions where it's a yes/no answer. "Is Jade there at all?" She either is or she isn't, there's no at all about it you blithering twat.

I must sound like I'm about 100 years old, and I am. KILL ALL YOUNG PEOPLE

Yes indeed It's very annoying.

But lately, everyone here is doing it and i just don't understand it.

Equally annoying is when people keep adding the word "like" into sentences, several zillion times. Even when it has absolutely no business being there whatsoever.

[FoxyPV]

That's an australian thing too?

I feel like that about the word "literally". Very much overused at present.

Not really.

and i've noticed adding in the word 'actual' seems to be creeping in too

Heard Scott Mills using it on the radio earlier, and at work the other day one of the students suddenly exclaimed loudly "Oh my ACTUAL God!!!"

I hope you shot him/her the deadliest of death stares, rendering them permanently mute.

HAHA yes that's the one, god I love family guy.

[Flynny]

I do it all the time when I'm at Uni since everyone here seems to do it, maybe it's a Surrey thing?

I tend to stop doing it when I've been at home for a bit but the infection seems to have spread to my family now so maybe it's entrenched. I hate myself for doing it even though it's subconcious.

My fave saying at the minute is "what the ACTUAL fook!?"

[Teece]

and "Totally", I forgot that too!

Oh dear... I'm like, totally, like an actual Victor Meldrew on this actual issue aren't I?

and don't even get me started on text speak..... haha

[MC Prussian]

The "totally" bug is a totally American thing.

Like the "like" at the beginning of sentences as well as in between "I was" and "totally", as in "I was like totally blown away by his xxx" - usually a woman's thing.

Especially American women talk like that, including the overuse of the expressions "so" (as in "That's so cool!") and "Really?" (combined with a fake head or hand movement and the said tendency to end every statement like a question).

California is particularly bad.
