I don't think politicians and others on the 'Today' programme starting every sentence with the word 'so' is one of them. However, I did not mean to have go at you personally, as a helpful contributor to multiple groups. It was really intended as a societal observation. |

Just one of many grammatical tics we all use from time to time I suppose. If you stripped english sentences of all the dead wood and filler you could probably shorten a lot of them by half.
