Default Talking up at the end of a sentence replaced by people eccentuating the letter K

Talking up at the end of sentences seems to have gone out of fashion - unless you're Australian..
And to replace this verbal annoyance is accentuating 'K's - usually if they are at the end of a final word in any given sentence. 'need to do some worK', for example. I'm getting old I know, but this really bugs me.

Anyone else noticing this one?

Don't get alcazar started on speech in the UK.

Southerners who lisp, or speak like that tw@ Oliver.
The number of people who can't pronounce an "R".
Southern females who say "Lick at that bick" when they mean "look at that book"...THEY want to fick off!

And don't even mention cockneys, mockneys and the fackin rest...........wiw you?

And how many of the above actually have to speak for a LIVING, ie: on TV/radio, yet can't do it properly??????

Not the same, but what's with somethink, nothink, everythink.

Tulisa does it and it makes her sound even thicker than she is.

I automatically assume people are of well below average intelligence if i hear them do this. So far, i'm yet to be proved wrong.

Yes, there are some, but they have accents, not feckin' speech impediments.

peopoo for people,
Angoo for angle
Yew for yell
yet "yellow" isn't yewow......

Parth, barth, marsk, arsk, yet NOT plarnk, or marths

It's not an accent, it's a speech impediment

It doesn't help when the singer of the Bond title track can't pronounce the title.

The rising inflection habit was in existence in Canada and America fifty five years ago.

Wrong.

Bus rhymes with puss, or us.
Up rhymes with cup,

What YOU have written rhymes with loose, and loop.

Now then, about those angoos in that triangoo?
