People who start sentences with "So"

Try having a convo with my Mum.. she starts half way through the story and when I have no idea wtf she's talking about she starts again with "What it was"
 
People are getting this wrong (at least for me). I'm ok with the sentence;

"So whats wrong with it?"

But die when I hear;

"so I was just going through my underpants drawer when..."
 
Eh. I do that sometimes. Most of the time it is just used as filer or because I'm not sure what exactly I am going to say when I start the sentence :).

There are much worse things that people say. One of them that really annoys me is when Americans say "I could care less" when what they really mean is "I couldn't care less".

In a similar vein, when did "Your Welcome" become the standard response to "Thank you", and Why?? :confused: :confused: :confused

I was taught 'You're Welcome' as a response to 'Thank You' forty years ago, as a child, as a method of being polite, in polite conversation.

So I assumed it was the standard response a generation ago, and probably for several generations before that. Perhaps you just didn't hear it previously, and now are picking up upon it?
 
I hate it when people (Americans) describe something as being 'addicting' instead of addictive. Also, doing actions 'on accident'.

Raaagh it's horrible. I felt bad just writing them.

So, itz just the way we talk, innit.....

Use of language is a sign of intelligence, and there's a lack of it out there!
 
The one I really dislike is the trend to have" literally" or "like literally" at the start of sentences for no good reason.
 
Americanism.

English being one of the most widely used languages on the planet you occasionally meet bpeople that don't particularly speak in the same way as you.

So, deal with it.

Try living in a country where American English is it's main cultural source... Does my head in too.
