BAD Grammar or Trendy

[Mariosbt]

SO.. all of a sudden everyone seems to be starting sentences with the word SO! This is not the only thing that gets on my t!ts, another is when people say “what have you ‘bought me’ “ instead of ‘brought me’ , it’s not just a Cockney thing either. Also .. what actually does seem to be a London thing is youths (UK born) speaking in what resembles a Jamaican ‘twang’ People get a grip ffs. It’s simple English.

You can blame Friends, Ross in particular for starting sentences with so.
Pet hate of mine as well.

That's been around since I was at school in the late '70s & early '80s. MLE they call it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicultural_London...

Personally I can't stand it.
