Given that this feature is being put foward by the younger generation in native-speaker communities, the crucial question is, How do younger speakers living in different parts of the non-Anglophone world appropriate this feature in their L2 English?

In so doing, it also explores the role of sociolinguistic salience and language attitudes in the process of adaptation of global linguistic innovations
