The grammar of raising the last sylabble up slightly, as if it's a semi-question.
Or Australian, very annoying. It's pretentious, annoying and not very clever.

I have to say I find the slightly more parochial Australian accent intensely irritating.
A lot of you sound lovely, but it's the ones with the nasal twang who sound permanently surprised at everything that comes out of their mouths that really grates on my ears.

I fully admit that I occasionally do it, but it's usually only when I'm thinking.
And I don't, to my knowledge, have a nasal twang. That's a Queenslander specialty.

I have heard many a New South Walesian speaking like that.

Isnt it something to do with
The younger generations having a poor education and therefore not having the confidence to make a statement and therefore going up at the end of the sentence means that they dont have to stand by the statement.

Eh?
I think it's just to do with where you're from. School is compulsory until you're 16 - and from then until you're 18 you either have to be at TAFE (technical college), in an apprenticeship or at highschool. S'nothing to do with your education.

I was being disparaging about the YOUTH of today
but it was a theory that someone came up with, by poor education I dont think they were refering to the actual qualifications but that schooling now is often about passing the exam as opposed to a wider preperation to adult life.

Well them too.
And the South Australians. And the Western Australians. Seems to be only Victorians and Tasmainians and ACT'ans who don't generally have the twang.

The ACT'ans are too busy watching porn and visiting sex shops to question anything.

I read that as
'We don't do it on purpose? You know?'
