Those f*****g Teutul's aren't helping either. Why people want to sound like a thick, pink haired, Californian bimbo I have no idea.

Language nazis are freaks.
Let's leave the "queens english" nonsense and the "soup spoon" nonsense and the "eating dinner at tea time" nonsense to the upper class pillocks and move on.
I agree, but there are acceptable limits to everything. It makes me grind my teeth whenever I hear it. It's nothing to do with being a language Nazi. If people sound every f******g sentence like they're asking a question, half the time you wont know when they are asking a question. It's just an awful American West coast fad. These fads have a nasty habit of taking off over here.
