So, What's up with people starting every sentence with the word "so"? | |

One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

"No, you're just about on..."(silence) At an extreme degree, after blocking occurs, the speaker does not recall the topic he or she was discussing. It's a symptom of Thought Disorder - i.e. the DSM's guideline on how to detect someone who is able to think outside of the box. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19737977 China 07/14/2012 06:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I blame Jerry Seinfeld: he was a prolific user of initiating most sentences with "So...". It's annoying because people somehow think it's kind of sophisticated, witty and authorative to assume the "if this, then that" construct, which "so" elicits. Essentially people who use "So" are snakeoil salesmen types: it's an attempt to gain a sub-conscious upper hand, as it presupposes that what they are about to say must be right, must be listened to, and can't be refuted. |

It seems to be more prevalent among 20 somethings, especially recent college grads. Quoting: Factual Error Anybody else notice this? Far worse are those who insert "um" all over the place or "like" - drives me bats! |
calendulaceum User ID: 1335180 United States 07/14/2012 08:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been wondering for a few years why people use the word 'actually' incorrectly and excessively. It's like an "I am a raving idiot that has no common sense" flag. I have come to write peops off as morans as soon as a compulsive actually flies out of their noise hole. I notice people type it out too, even worse. It helped me to stop listening to NPR. |

It's fucking annoying. Sometimes I wanna yell at them "I know what you fucking mean, so stop saying I mean when you begin a sentence." Quoting: thadividedsky [link to www.youtube.com] |

When it's used sparingly I take it to mean "putting all previous discussions aside, I'm starting a new topic." A gal I work with says "you know what I mean" after nearly every statement. I don't think she really means to say that it's just a signature habit she has, but it drives me bonkers. Most people don't notice it.
