jdgm Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm with ya Murph. It's utterly lame. I thought it might just be a U.S. cultural thing until a favourite Brit member started using it a lot. Â rct - yes indeed. 9 years if I'm lucky and what joy not to hear the 'consultant-speak' bs again! My most despised one that's emerged over the past few years is to 'reach out' to someone. When I hear it I just want to reach out across the 'kin table and.... .............and? Â All trends annoy me. Â ........so? Â Ok enough already.....

Retired Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 So This is not a trend but what definetly annoys me is my wife's mother! She will talk to hear herself, and uses "I See" over and over and over again till you want to duct tape her mouth shut. Add in the fact, the doctors forgot to remove the umbilical chord between her and my wife makes me So So irritated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StRanger7032 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I can't stand it when people say "heith" instead of height. It seems to have appeared in the last 5 years or so and even people I know who are usually well spoken are starting to say it. Its NOT a word! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Used properly, the word "so" at the beginning of a sentence does carry meaning, i.e., "therefore," but it depends on what has been said previously - the background of the conversation. Â Ted: They found the Higgs boson! Â Alice: So the Standard Model of Particle Physics is not just a low-energy approximation, but is valid well into the electroweak symmetry breaking regime. Â Â Keith Devlin, author of Goodbye, Descartes, professor of mathematics, Dean of the School of Science at St. Mary's College, and senior researcher at Stanford University's Center for the Study of Language and Communication, put it this way: Â "One way to think of the background to a conversation is by comparing a conversation to two people building a wall. The building skills and experience the two individuals bring to the task are part of the background. So too is the supply company that delivers the bricks, sand, and cement. All of these contribute to the building of the wall, and some of them are essential to the task. But none are part of the actual building work. The one part of the background that can be regarded as part of the actual building process is the preparation of the foundations for the wall, since the foundations are, in a sense, part of the wall. The construction of the wall then proceeds in a step-by-step fashion, as the two persons add one brick after another in a coordinated and cooperative fashion... each new brick builds upon those that have been laid previously. The attention of the two people building the wall is focused entirely on the wall and its foundations, not on anything in the background." Â This is why a married couple might communicate with just a few words, and someone else might not understand what the heck they're talking about. The couple knows the background. Â Unfortunately, my wife often assumes I know the background of her thoughts when I haven't a clue: Â W: She is just not a good friend. Â Me: Who are you talking about?
