Subject: Re: "upspeak"



I picked up this trait while living in Georgia. I don't remember ever

noticing it in California or Utah. I generally use it as a way of making sure

my listener is following what I'm saying.



I was speaking once with a Filipino colleague and used upspeak. He pegged me

immediately as having lived in the South.
