Sentences starting with "So"?

Post by Leroy »

Did I miss something? I've never noticed this before, but I'm not exaggerating when I say I've heard this at least 20 times in the last two weeks on various news shows.

Taguchi would be confused.

Often capped off by "you know" is included at the end of the same sentence.

A while ago I was watching some show and started to notice the rhetorical "...Right?" at the end of a lot of lines that people would say. I think I noticed a half dozen or more in a half hour show. It became quite annoying.

So, I know what you're talking about, right?

I was going to start a rant about this earlier today but got busy. This trend is very annoying.

My wife ends just about every thought or sentence with a drawn out "soooo" when talking on the phone with friends or family. It's gone on forever, so I started saying it out loud every time she would do it so she could hear me. It annoyed her to the point that she longer does it! LOL.

Worked with a woman who ended every sentence with "know what I mean?" I swear I wanted to stab myself in the eye with a pencil rather than have a conversation with her.
