Why do they all sound as fick as mince now?
Shove your glottal stops up your ringpieces.

I have a similar issue with newscasters (across the pond, they'd be called newsreaders) in my area. Being a native of Southern California--but living outside the region for over twenty years--I was dismayed upon my return to find so many So Cal announcers with really nasal, pinched-nose voices. Even worse, IMO, is another local vocal idiot-syncracy: those speakers whose voices go up? at the end of every sentence? or even at the end of every phrase? (My husband calls that way of speaking "Mandar-English" because of the sing-song-y quality.)

I think it’s responsible for spreading it to the U.K.! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal |

Started when they decided "regional voices" where the trendy thing to have. None of them can speak the King's English now.
