Could be a faulty keyboard, or a two-fisted philosophical stance: the man may be one of the few who write like they speak. Some 5 years or so ago, upon getting back to Canada after several years abroad, one of the first things that struck me when talking to people (young and old, East and West) was their linguistic quirk of ending almost every phrase with a rising tone of voice and turning even the simplest affirmation (Hi, it's Tom?) into a question, at times quasi-metaphysical. Even worse, I discovered to my horror that it was contagious: after just a couple of days I caught myself imitating the same uncertainty, wavering with concepts like "I live in Vancouver?" Shocking stuff. And now I'm back in Rome.
