Once you notice just how many people now start everything they say with the word, 'So', you'll wonder how this new all pervading nonsense happened. Whether they're answering a question or making a statement - the first word they chuck out is, 'So'..... "So, what are you doing at the weekend?" - "So, after I do the shopping, I'll ride my bike - why?" - "So, I was just asking" So, fucking stop it!
So, whats yr wife doing later, can i take her for a spin on my bike yeh? Now we opened another can of worms, people who say yeah, at the end of everything, normally YOUNG people
Don't see what your problem is, bunch of rank amateurs if you ask me :wink: http://ducatiforum.co.uk/google.php...=ducatiforum.co.uk/usercp.php&ss=410j168100j2
So basically, let me be absolutely clear, you don't actually like the use of the word 'so', which is the right thing to do.
"So" is just a fill-in word in place of "er". It doesn't bother me. I get more annoyed by the use of "yeah" in sentences as they go along. This is a word which is implicitly requiring my agreement in what is being said and is a way speakers have of trying to dominate the person they are talking to (at). It's an attempt at verbal bullying. The use of rising inflection (in an Australian stylee) at the end of statements also seeks approbation for what is being said, but it denotes lack of conviction in the speaker and thus weakness.
Don't get me started on this Too late Personal hates are the over use of phrases like 'do you know what I mean' 'basically' 'yeah' 'innit' 'carnt' when it is 'cant' 'brought' when it is 'bought' 'break' when it is 'brake' and people who don't know the correct use of the words 'there, their and there are (they're) To name just a few ......... and breathe
