So, a recent trend

So, has anyone else noticed over recent months, particularly on the television - i've noticed it during interviews on news programs - that many people are beginning sentences with the word 'so'

I find it 'so' annoying.

(Incidentally, the 'so' at the beginning of this post was put there deliberately to illustrate the problem)

It's another imported americanism based on "reality" shows that are in fact set up or scripted. The interaction is forces so there is no natural entry into the conversation..

A good example is watching something like "LA ink". Every scene starts with *person walking up* 'So...uuuuuuhh'

No, that's an over-used adjective

So, what you're saying is you don't like the use of the word so at the start of a sentance?

Well, I hear what you are saying and I'd like to reply but unfortunately I fell asleep in my media training at this point....

So, how was your day today darling?

I'm guilty of this, but think it's just a natural progression of our language like text speak etc. It doesn't bother me really.
