Is there anyone left?

Question

Hello Yahoo Land.

Is there anyone left from Britain or Ireland who does not speak in either of the following ways?

H.R.T (High Rise Terminal) or A.Q.I (Australian Quotation Internation) - the rising of an end of a sentance, so it comes across as a question.

OR

American speak where the words SO and LIKE are over used and emphasised (e.g I was SO drunk, I like fell over like SO many times)

Are there any bastians of normality out there?

:-)

Answer 1

I say its nice to know that there are some people who still speak and pronounciate properly , with the appropriate expressed etymologics. I do feel that we are a dying race and modernistic expressions are swamping our very existence due to a complacent and less audible/oral society that have been consumed by the culturalistic nonsense of modern communication.

Answer 2

Yes - me. Like, I always make so sure I don't INflect at the wrong time?
