So, why the hell have people started starting sentences with the word 'so'?

So, I'm afraid I'm with Shryke. Dude, it is in no way an 'americanism'. Even if it was, so what?

In general (see what I did there? No? Well fuck you, I'm not here to impress you people :pac:) I think I like the little colloquialisms that litter our speech. I don't really care where they originate. It's just a thing innit? A thing what we do.

Not as bad IMO as starting a sentence with K.

Rap Singers talking about the Integrity of their Music while everything about them suggests a Criminal Type who's angling for the respectability his tacky business never deserves .

WindSock

So buttons.

I hate it too. Think its a right smug way to start a sentence.

'So' is a moment's pause to nudge the thinking process OR to catch your attention .

brummytom

So I was like hey, and he was like hey. And we were like heyyyyyy. So I was like O.M.G and he was like W.T.F and we were like LOL. It was literally ironic. So yeah.

So they can have a pause or draw people's attention before they begin their sentence proper.

It's not really the proper use of the word if you think about the definitions of the word so but people say it when they are thinking of what to say like the french say um or ur a lot or some people say it to get someone's attention before asking a question, it is really just a habit.

I broke free from the UM habit when making presentations a few years ago and I don't think I noticed I was doing it before I saw myself on video.
I never felt like "so" was an American thing, "like" would be more of an American thing if that even matters at all.

What about those that start a conversation with "Well"... are they turning into Limerick folk?

Sister Assumpta

So I've noticed they also use sentences that that turn into questions?
