<Snipped quote by BespeckledCeph>

well, no
i have to explain it to everybody I meet and plan to interact with for an extended period of time
so it's a thing for me and some people I meet pick it up
but in fact I have only ever met one person who independently developed the same expression of tone

Also makes sense
