Subject: RE: BS: 'vocal fry'- my suspicions confirmed
Oh, and while we're on the subject, and not to hijack Bill's thread - the new and current trend among young Americans, male and female, to employ the glottal stop instead of pronouncing the letter "t" in the middle of words.
Or Glo'al stop.
If you're not from Glasgow or London where you grew up using it, please stop.
BTW, isn't it weird that those who use the glottal stop can't pronounce their affliction? Like folks with a lisp.
