So no jubilee line strike after all
 
More empty threats from the RMT or did the lazy bolshevics not get enough
support from the sane section of their membership and decided to save face
instead?

So why do people insist on starting sentences with the word 'so'?

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"

Just like Train Station :)

Just one of many grammatical tics we all use from time to time I suppose.
If you stripped english sentences of all the dead wood and filler you could
probably shorten a lot of them by half.

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

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

MIlliseconds surely?

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