    I wasn't sure what the popular name for this absurd, apparently undying trend is these days but it appears it is still "Valspeak" ie Valley Girl stupid-talk that women of all ages, classes and professions (newswomen and other "professionals" use it now) seem to be using.

    Is it just me or is it simply grating on the ears to hear women talk like this?
    Do you not understand how utterly brainless you make yourself look?
    Is it just me?

    My speakers are off on my work computer so i can't reference an audio clip.
    But in brief - many comments are stated like a question..
    The soft "e" in words like help is alway replaced by an "a" - ie halp
    Or web is wab..
    Ongoing elements of what I perceive to be baby talk
    In general - the way stupid white chicks talk..

    Guys don't talk like this unless they are doing an impersonation or are being flamboyantly gay..

    You guys do know what "Valley Girl" is right?
    Or am I coming from a prehistoric reference with that?

    Here, we have two dialects. "normal" Indiana accent, and the Kentuckian southern accent. Not much else.
