When did we all decide to replace vowels at the beginning of words with “UHH”?
“Paul has an UHH-lectric bike which he UHH-magines he will take with him to the UHH-lympics.”
I challenge you.. spend one day listening to the way our language has eroded.. and it’s not just youth.. it goes all the way up to our exalted best examples of speakers.. TV news readers. If you take me up on my challenge I guarantee that you will become more tuned in whenever you hear the “UHH” sound, and you will be motivated to steer children towards caring about how they speak.
Deterioration of language leads to the fall of civilizations.

It’s a regional accent; every area has one, and it’s not necessarily uniform among everyone in that area. Relax, it’s okay!
eloquence is a lost art.

You dumbass, OP. It’s a regional dialect. People like you piss me off, thinking that it’s a deterioration of the English language; a language which has changed in ways you likely can’t even imagine. Here’s a very old English phrase: Ich ne seye naught (I don’t see). Yes, that used to be considered proper English.
Did you ever hear of this old joke: how do you pronounce “ghoti”? The answer: “fish”. Pronunciation in English is bizarre when you look at it, and “uhh” is a vowel (when phonetically transcribed). Gah. Get a life, OP.
I do agree with you somewhat jdp21, but you have to admit there is a difference in the evolution of a language and ppl just being lazy twats. I hear it all the time.
Who cares?
