Emphasis. Look it up.

Conjunction. Look it up.

So what?

As you can see, some words have multiple roles.

I don't think politicians and others on the 'Today' programme starting
every sentence with the word 'so' is one of them.

However, I did not mean to have go at you personally, as a helpful
contributor to multiple groups. It was really intended as a societal
observation.

"So ..." in 2018 is the same as "Well ..." in 1918. It is an annoying,
no-benefit, substitution - but nugatory compared to the oh-so-excrescent
media favourite "existential"

Anything is better than someone who inserts "like" after every 3rd word,
often followed either by "totally" or "awesome". Or both.

The give themselves another two seconds to think about what they are
going to say.

MIlliseconds surely?

It's generally separated from the rest of the answer by a significant
pause.

It's a shorter version of "I'm glad you asked me that question".

But not as good as, 'What the audience really wants to know is ...'.

So I think it is a good idea to confuse the bolshevics who have no
idea of the niceties of the English language.
I must confess, I love my native tongue and its miriad ways of
confusing the less fortunate.

So nice of you to illustrate what I assume is one of the countless
variations on, or interpretations of, Skitt's law :)

Or that utterance that seems to be a favourite with the type of people who
could audition for an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle show.
“Know what I mean� , Yes it means you are thick , now **** off.
