examples: The sorority members' own interpretation of uptalk was that it was a way of being inclusive.
Once used exclusively by teenagers, uptalk is increasingly found in the workplace with negative results. When statements sound like questions, speakers seem weak and tentative. […] On the job, managers afflicted by uptalk may have difficulty convincing staff members to follow directions because their voice inflection implies that other valid options are possible.
As a working definition, uptalk is taken in this book to be a marked rising intonation pattern found at the ends of intonation units realised on declarative utterances, and which serves primarily to check comprehension or to seek feedback. This definition provides a lot of leeway, but at the same time constrains the possible scope of uptalk. The leeway is necessary because, as we will see in later discussion, the shape of uptalk is variable and quite possibly differs from one variety of English to another.
gloss: To speak with a rising intonation at the end of a sentence, as if it were a question; to upspeak.
pos: verb
tags: intransitive
examples: I asked the girl what she wanted. "Um, an apple martini?" she uptalked. / "I can do one," I said, "but you'll regret it." Our apple juice was disgusting and the apples we kept in stock weren't even the right kind.
I drove my sneaker into her shin. "Our assignment was to pretend we were at a sporting event? Okay?" / "She uptalks when she's nervous," Cinnamon said to Lars. He chuckled, but her comment made me mad. And embarrassed. / "I'm not nervous," I said.
It's worth noting, too, that typical interpretation of uptalking – that the speaker is indicating doubt about their assertion – is inaccurate. While this is one function of uptalking, when performed by someone with less discursive power towards someone with more discursive power, uptalking also functions to let the hearer know that the speaker would like the hearer's input. This is what happens when speakers with more discursive power uptalk to hearers with less discursive power.
Citing analyses of uptalk and proposals concerning its origins, he hopes that looking at the evidence for how uptalk is actually used 'will help you make linguistic peace with your uptalking daughter and her professional friends'.

examples: The urinogenous or ascending nephropathies are divisible into two great groups (a) the hydronephrotic nephropathies and (b) the pyelonephritides.
The frequent spontaneous resolution of cystopyelic reflux after 10 years of age induces to consider at least part of the apparently primary pyelonephritides as secondary to yet disappeared refluxes and, thus, to allocate in this group most of the so-called atrophic pyelonephritides of the young, often monolateral or mostly affecting one kidney, with sterile urine and almost normal urinary sediment.
2001, Jeffery Hughes, 12: Infectious Diseases, N. A. Hughes, Clinical Pharmacy, Macmillan Health, 2nd Edition, page 215,
Primary acute pyelonephritis most commonly occurs in females, with 90% of cases caused by Escherichia coli.
The kidneys of acute pyelonephritis have small white abscesses on the subcapsular surface and on cut surfaces.
Pyelonephritis is most commonly encountered in younger, nulliparous women in their second trimester. Women with a history of pyelonephritis, renal calculi or anatomic malformations are particularly susceptible to the development of pyelonephritis and should therefore be regularly screened on a monthly basis throughout pregnancy.

Part of speech: noun

Etymology: There are several theories:
* Named after Mark Pringle, who filed a US Patent 2,286,644 titled “Method and Apparatus for Processing Potatoes” on 5 March 1937. Pringle’s work was cited by Procter & Gamble (the original seller of Pringles) in filing their own patent for improving the taste of dehydrated processed potatoes.
* Two Procter advertising employees lived on Pringle Drive in Finneytown (north of Cincinnati, Ohio), and the name paired well with “potato chips”.
* Procter & Gamble chose the name from a Cincinnati telephone book.
* “Chosen out of a hat” to promote a family name appeal.
