What's with all this soft, languid, feminine, vocal style with Americans?
The guys seem to like to let the end of sentences rise upwards, like little
girls asking questions, not like making statements.
I think that style, if it could not be corrected, would make me look for
another expert.
Wusses, the majority.

It's a California thing. From New York, sentences are generally ended with "and do you have a problem with THAT?"

Its something you get used to if you've spent any time in there. They also
repeatedly say OK with a weird elongated pronunciation of the O.

Incidentally, Atty Young does this a little, but after all, he is asking
questions, so it's a little more natural.

You pick up on the details, Mons Ferret! Remember, that's where the
devil is.

That rising inflection, colloquially referred to as a 'waszzat?',
indicates an implied post comment, as in, "..., waszzat, [censored]?" So
you see, what might not seem like a question, is, after all.

It's a way of, you know, making every, like, statement
sound like a question, you know? So that it seems like,
you're not, like, a know-it-all, and if someone challenges
you, you can kind of back away, without ever, like,
having to go back on what you said?

It's more, like, East Coast: "Dumbass" vs.
West Coast: "Dumbass?"

Not that there's anything wrong with that, JT.
