pray tell,

Why do you all talk like this

[-] spauldo@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

It's a common idiom that indicates skeptical disagreement.

Common among redditors, maybe

I've been using it since before reddit existed. You'd almost think that people from different areas talk differently.

Yeah I can believe that too

How is that hard to believe? I was already an adult when the Internet became open to the public. My basic speech patterns were pretty well set by then.

English is one of the most spoken languages on the planet. How is it you expect everyone to sound the same?

Maybe you should consider traveling.
