So when did people begin starting sentences with the word "So"? Did I not get the memo?

Sooo...no one fucking cares what you find annoying...or condescending.

So, the answer is probably long before you were born, but after the discovery of fire. So somewhere between those two things, but before the industrial revolution for sure.

You'd be surprised

So...here's the thing. Very little actually surprises me anymore. ():)

What DID surprise me...after we "chatted" last summer about the condition of I-80...I wrote to Cal-Trans about it. I got an email last month...

Your concern as submitted in the Maintenance Service Request has been addressed, and your ticket has been closed. Thank you for using the Caltrans web site to notify us of your concern. At Caltrans we're here to get you there.

(not that I actually believe the problem was really fixed...more like yet another band-aid slapped on it for temporary relief.) :cool:

Starting a sentence with 'So' is like graduating high school before kindergarten, while ironically, people who use it in this way have likely done neither.

Sow! Sow! Shouted the cruel farmers wife while she sipped on her lemonade and sewed her doily in the shade.

The brutalized farmer, completely exhausted, suffering beyond comprehension, his hands blisters the size of bullfrogs, his joints aflame with pain, barely conscious, lingering on, slaving away over the field, clinging to the hoe and hope that his wife would die before him so he could retire in peace merely muttered under his breath, for he did not have the energy for anything more substantial.

I hate when people start sentenses with SOW or SEW, epsecially when they are pretentious and put too many commas.

What an absolutely splendid use of your limited time on Earth. Hating things. Sounds like such a joyful, pleasant experience. Are you sure you're not a millennial?
