As I said, I notice this in home movies, so I know for my own family this is the case. Because it's consistent with actual movies and TV programs, and it's ubiquitous across all of them, I cannot see how it could be something non-natural.
We know accents change over time. Just listen to radio from the 30s or 50s to hear changes between then and the 70s or 80s. Then again to now. This is a human phenomena, and not one that would be isolated to just the US. However, for both Canada and the US immigrants should have an outsized impact on accent shifts compared to populations that are more stable.
I'm curious to know the impetus for the change over time.
- diskzero 5y agoWhen I listen to current tech podcasts and interviews, I notice a lot of manufactured excitement and rapid fire interjection. There is more use of words like "Listen..", "Look...", "Absolutely..." etc. Perhaps this is a phenomena that is a result of an attempt to create entertainment and improve the marketing of the individual or brand. I am sure Susan wasn't thinking about creating content or marketing buzz. She was just thoughtfully discussing a project that she had great interest and passion in.
