Words that need to be taken out behind teh woodshed and shot in the face

'So, we've put proposals out for consultation blah blah'

That seems very childlike, in one sense. It's as if everything is a continuation of a story.

It really is a bizarre affectation. Heaven knows how it started.

I tend to leave the radio on most of the night and much of the content doesn't really register.
However, about a week ago a captain of industry was being interviewed and started every damned answer with 'so'.
I don't know how many times he'd used it before I started to pay attention.
