Wed, 6 Jun 2018, Scott remarked: So why do people insist on starting sentences with the word 'so'? The give themselves another two seconds to think about what they are going to say. MIlliseconds surely? It's generally separated from the rest of the answer by a significant pause. It's a shorter version of "I'm glad you asked me that question". But not as good as, 'What the audience really wants to know is ...'. -- Roland Perry |

So why do people insist on starting sentences with the word 'so'? So I think it is a good idea to confuse the bolshevics who have no idea of the niceties of the English language. I must confess, I love my native tongue and its miriad ways of confusing the less fortunate. Guy Gorton |

"So ..." in 2018 is the same as "Well ..." in 1918. It is an annoying, no-benefit, substitution - but nugatory compared to the oh-so-excrescent media favourite "existential" Anything is better than someone who inserts "like" after every 3rd word, often followed either by "totally" or "awesome". Or both. Or that utterance that seems to be a favourite with the type of people who could audition for an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle show. “Know what I mean” , Yes it means you are thick , now **** off.
