Sentences starting with "So"?

[IMADreamer]

I had an employee once who wouldn't finish his sentences but would end with "you know". He would say something like "Tomorrow is you know?" I finally broke him of it after calling him out on sounding like a moron.

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?

Nate Silver is bad about both of these. I actually cringe hearing him talk sometimes.

Sentences starting with "So" make me feel like red rain is pouring down all over me, and a sledgehammer pounding me big time. I tell myself "Don't give up," but I hear that voice again.

So I'm toiling away on a dreary post-holiday Monday. So I need a GRB break and read this thread and sigh's comment. I quickly check the email reply that I'm ready to send.

My second sentence started with "So". I quickly fixed it. At least it didn't end with "you know?"

I'm sorry, sigh. I will try to avoid causing you any more pain.

I had a linear algebra professor from Croatia. He had won math awards and was respected in his field, but didn't have a mastery of English. When we asked him a question about a concept we hadn't yet grasped, he would respond by working through an example on the board and end with, "eh... you know?"

No, we don't. That's why we're in the class!! And why we asked you to explain it to us!!!

There was a bumper sticker popular here a few years ago that said "So! How are the children?" I think it was supposed to encourage you to talk to your kids. "So!" is not a sentence by itself, so it was just annoying.

This is getting out of control. I had a trial today and after it was over the judge began making his ruling by saying "So, the issue I have to decide is blah blah blah"

WTF?
