Don't ask me why I decided to do this poll. Tongue

I'm more of an answerer.

Listening. Sometimes mumbling. Voted for the last choice.

I end my affirmative answers in a higher pitch to make them sound like questions.

As someone who isn't as knowledgable as some of the members here, I tend to do more questioning than answering.

I usually tend to ask questions, because this way the others talk and I get to stay silent for most of the time. Works perfectly.

Is this at the basis of your question?

Interesting observation certainly. As a Scot living in Australia I have noticed this grievously irritating 'vocal portamento' by the locals also. However, it seems that in mitigation, they cannot help themselves i.e. linguists (cunning or otherwise) have denoted this rise in pitch as the Australian Inflection. I also remember that in the UK during the 90's it was copied by corporate professional Brits in their daily banter (and being deliberate, this was worthy of being bludgeoned to death with a toner cartridge if you ask me, but then I'm old fashioned)

To those who hear it for the first time, the inference is one of being patronised, but as I stated above, that is not implied (by Aussies anyway)

Nice track from Focus III

The basis of my question, just something that popped into my mind that I thought would be an interesting subject for a poll.  The basis for the thread title?  The Focus III song, of course.  Big smile

I tend to give answers and question on the same amount... don't know... I suppose it's because they teach me to listen to people but never stay quiet... interesting topic though...
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

It would depend on the intelligence of the other person. I prefer asking questions to answering them, but I guess as a whole maybe I answer more?

I get paid to answer questions so I guess I should select that.

This. Most of the question/answer-type conversations take place with people you don't know well. I find that I am not the best conversationalist when meeting new people (although I probably compare to the people here on PA Tongue). Less talking on my part means there is a smaller chance they will discover I have nothing of importance to say.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.
