Is it just me or is anybody else getting annoyed by increasing numbers of people who start every sentence or answer to a question with an irrelevant 'So...'....?
There are worse phrases that have slipped into everyday use.
The 'can I get' instead of 'can I have' is awful.
Just my opinion, like.
I have noticed this. I find it odd, more than annoying, rather like when people begin each sentence with “Look…”. Australians, in particular, are fond of starting their sentences with “Look…”.
I always thought it was a Dutch thing. When I worked in Middelburg, the guy I shared an office with would always walk in, sit down and say "Sooooo!" nothing else, just "Sooooo!" In the manner of Ernst Stavro Blofeld addressing James Bond.
