My thoughts on tour situation is as follows:

So, I watched the documentary on Netflix.

Did you know you can not begin the sentence with “so”, and it will still be correct?

Those are my thoughts.

So you're saying you're not so happy with the overuse of 'so'?

I actually think the 'so' meme is dying out. A few years back it was the "thing to do" to begin sentences with 'so'. It added a sense of modesty to whatever followed. A false sense of modesty.

I noticed it a lot on NPR especially among the newer younger "journalists". They didn't want to sound like know-it-alls so they used the 'so' to ease us into whatever liberal nonsense they were about to spew.

I got sooooo annoyed at the overuse of 'so' that I finally stopped listening to the eNemy at NPR. Now if I want to know what they're up to I just have to look out the window as they march by.
