biotechpete Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I find I normally only do that when I'm trying to get someone to be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I hate this modern fad of starting every sentence or reply with 'So'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My pet hate, and it's mainly pundits who do it, who start any sentance with look or listen. Waddle and Keane are shockers for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 They're called fillers, they happen unconsciously. It's only the same as saying errm, or huh, etc. Doesn't really bother me at all to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I was sat near someone on the bus recently who kept saying 'like' repeatedly throughout his conversation with the girl sat next to him. I entertained myself by counting how many times he said it for a while, but I soon lost count, it was a 40 minute journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I saw somewhere a study saying that the use of fillers engenders more natural speech and so is easier to understand and assimilate. I personally don't really notice it. You find that a lot of academics start sentences with 'So...' This is used in two contexts that I encounter. One is So..I could explain this to you but I need to think of a way to do it which you or the audience will understand. The other is We know this and we know this and we thought this. So... we did this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
