Using "So" so much at the beginning of sentences sort of deflates whatever it is that follows.

What drives me nuts is when people start a sentence with “again” or “I mean”, when there are no previous sentences to justify the use of those words. Michael Medved did that a lot.

Is he still on the Radio, BTW? I’ve gotten so into youtube in my car that I’ve not turned on the AM radio in months.

It's a millenial thing. I've noticed it in the workplace. "So" abuse, Upspeak, and Vocal Fry.

It's so stupid.

It irritates me to no end when people do that.

Misuse of the word “like” is rampant and probably irreversible. “I’m like...and then he was all like...”.

It makes me want to eat my own brain!

I watched only for a short while. During that time, Warren refused to answer the questions but just babbled.

Marxism is hard to justify, even for the Marxists.

It makes the speaker sound less than confident.

I am of the opposite opinion. To me, it sounds arrogant, like beginning a sentence with "Listen, ..."

Yep, it's like restating it so you ca think up your answer because you have no clue how to answer the question, it's stalling tactic.

When Elizabeth Warren preaches and her eyes get crazy, voice shrill, she becomes a woman’s mother-in- law, a man’s ex-wife and everyone’s seventh grade teacher.

Worse was McCain’s “My Friends” in every other sentence. I wanted to scream at him, “I’m not YOUR friend!” You’re just another politician trying to appear down-home and wholesome. I hated that!

Maybe she has just forgotten what tribe she belongs to and is mispronouncing “Sioux.”

The use of “so” is a telltale sign... and not a good one.

So much of what the cheatokee said was stupid that I had to change the channel.

Dangit! Now I’m doing it.

Those of us not in the U.S are going to need another planet to move to, if any of these democrat imbeciles are elected president.
