Apropos:

"Why does Grindr always crash when there is a Republican convention or big event in town?

Anyone meet someone (edit: that is openly anti-lgbt in words and action) famous or well known on there? Or just someone who is a raging Maga or Republican but secretly loves to have gay sex?"

Our daughter, having lived in Australia for the last 10 years, developed the characteristic rising inflexion at the end of each sentence (listen to the Wombat walkers).

She then decided that it sounded just wrong as an ex-pat Brit, and eradicated it totally from the way she speaks.

I find that both endearing and annoying....  I first noticed it with someone at my last company (back in 2011).  She did talk like that with the "question inflection" at the end of many sentences.

We started emulating her, doing the American Pie "Bandcamp Girl" voice that also does that inflection.  Unfortunately, we found it started sticking, and we were doing it normally.  So we weened our way off of that.

I still occasionally hear myself doing it, and try to adjust as quickly as I can.
