    Like, oh my god?

    vocal fry: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3626 (2011) including samples from the 1980s of speakers born in the 1950s

    uptalk: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=568 (2008) has samples of US Presidential uptalk, references to 1975 monographs, and:

    > Let's note in passing that 9th-century Viking warriors were not stereotypically insecure or in need of approval or affirmation from their interlocutors.

    (when I discovered they were also wearing leotards and leg warmers on the other side of the Iron Curtain during that era, I was like freaking out?

    eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlrRKindB-U&t=120s

    but I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised: the 80s were the 80s, everywhere:

    eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h-5G58Jask&t=80s )

    I have a 7 year old daugther and instead of es-ar she speaks in es-yt (Spanish-YouTube) . It's a mix of es-es, es-mx, es-ar, es-whatever. But it's probably a common problem. The other day I heard in the street a small girl saying "medicina" insted of "remedio".

    It's similar to the Peppa Pig effect, where children in USA speak in es-br insteas of es-us.
